Reconstructing Discontinuous Facial Defects with Simultaneous Ulnar Perforator Free Flaps
Multiple, simultaneous skin cancers of the face are common. This is the first description of reconstructing discontinuous facial defects (i.e., separate sites of the face) with simultaneous ulnar perforator flaps. The distinct innovations of this multiple flap design are the ability to restrict the harvest site to one extremity, to obtain vein and arterial grafts from the same extremity, and to...
متن کاملModern Oral Cavity Reconstruction with Free Flaps and Pedicled Flaps
Small defects resulting from tumor ablation can be successfully managed with primary closure (i.e., limited excisions within the oral cavity), sometimes can be left to heal for secondary intention (transoral oropharyngeal/laryngeal/hypopharyngeal resections) or can be resurfaced using skin grafts or small local flaps, but in the majority of the cases the resulting defect requires a flap transpo...
متن کاملBuried free flaps in head and neck surgery: outcome analysis.
BACKGROUND Over the last several decades, reconstruction of the head and neck oncologic defect has been revolutionized by the use of microvascular free tissue transfer. The majority of these defects can be reconstructed with the ability to visually monitor the flap, to intervene as soon as vascular compromise becomes evident. Occasionally, it is necessary to use a flap that has no visual extern...
متن کاملParascapular free flaps in head and neck malignancies.
According to the National Cancer Institute more than 1,000,000 new cases expected in the United States in 2008. With the increasing number of diagnosed skin cancer cases, there is an increasing need for effective reconstruction in those cases treated with surgical resection. Factors that influence the choice of treatment are the site, grade, and stage of the primary tumor; patient age; and gene...
