Submental artery island flap (SIF) is a viable alternative to free flaps for selected oral-cavity defects, however, concerns about its oncologic safety still exists. A novel harvesting technique and its outcome is described in here.
This is a prospective study for patients with lateralized oral tongue and/or floor of mouth (FOM) cancers who undergone reconstruction using pedicled SIF based on contralateral submental vessels (CSIF) following resection.
Forty-one patients were included. Twenty-four patients had T2, 13 had T3, and 4 had T1 tumors. The largest flap skin paddle was 15 × 9 cm. One patient sustained complete and five sustained partial flap loss. Three patients developed tongue tethering. Median follow-up was 13.6 months. Locoregional recurrence occurred in 11 patients (26.8%); 6 oral-cavity recurrences (14.6%), 6 ipsilateral, and 1 contralateral neck recurrences (2.4%).
CSIF is a reliable flap that addresses the oncologic controversy and overcomes the disadvantages of ipsilateral flap.
对于特定的口腔缺损,颏下动脉岛状皮瓣(SIF)是游离皮瓣的一种可行替代方案,然而,对其肿瘤学安全性的担忧仍然存在。本文描述了一种新的切取技术及其效果。
这是一项针对接受基于对侧颏下血管(CSIF)的带蒂SIF重建术的偏侧性口腔舌癌和/或口底(FOM)癌患者的前瞻性研究。
纳入41例患者。24例患者为T2期,13例为T3期,4例为T1期肿瘤。最大的皮瓣皮岛为15×9cm。1例患者皮瓣完全坏死,5例部分坏死。3例患者出现舌系带挛缩。中位随访时间为13.6个月。11例患者(26.8%)出现局部区域复发;6例口腔复发(14.6%),6例同侧复发,1例对侧颈部复发(2.4%)。
CSIF是一种可靠的皮瓣,解决了肿瘤学争议,克服了同侧皮瓣的缺点。
