Traditionally, patients undergoing free flap reconstruction for oral cavity defects have been given nothing by mouth for 6-14 days post-operatively due to concern for orocutaneous fistula development.
Multiple databases were screened for studies assessing the rate of orocutaneous fistula formation in early (≤5 days) versus late (>5 days) feeding groups following oral cavity free flap reconstruction. Fixed- and random-effects meta-analyses were used.
One randomized controlled trial, one prospective cohort, and three retrospective cohort studies were included. The early feeding group displayed no significant increase in orocutaneous fistula formation (RD = -0.02, p = 0.06) or free flap failure (RD = -0.01, p = 0.39), with a significantly shorter hospital length of stay (mean difference [days] = -2.43, p < 0.01).
While further prospective trials are necessary, initiation of oral intake before post-operative day 5 may be appropriate in properly selected patients following oral reconstruction.
传统上,由于担心发生口腔皮肤瘘,接受口腔缺损游离皮瓣重建的患者术后6 - 14天一直禁食。
对多个数据库进行筛选,以寻找评估口腔游离皮瓣重建术后早期(≤5天)与晚期(>5天)进食组口腔皮肤瘘形成率的研究。采用固定效应和随机效应荟萃分析。
纳入一项随机对照试验、一项前瞻性队列研究和三项回顾性队列研究。早期进食组口腔皮肤瘘形成(RD = -0.02,p = 0.06)或游离皮瓣失败(RD = -0.01,p = 0.39)无显著增加,住院时间显著缩短(平均差异[天]= -2.43,p < 0.01)。
虽然需要进一步的前瞻性试验,但对于经过适当选择的口腔重建术后患者,术后第5天之前开始经口进食可能是合适的。
