Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSES: This study was aimed to observe the effects of anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of tissue defects after en bloc resection of buccal cancer. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with soft tissue defects after en bloc resection of buccal cancer underwent simultaneous reconstruction with anterolateral thigh flap from May, 2013 to May, 2015 were observed. Anterolateral thigh flaps were designed and harvested in form of single or multiple islands to restore the defect in buccal region after surgery. The appearance and function of both the oral and maxillofacial region and the donor site were recorded and evaluated. RESULTS: All the 23 flaps survived. Only 3 of them experienced vascular crisis within 24 hours after surgery, and recovered gradually after salvage. The success rate was 100%. One to three years of follow-up showed satisfying morphology and function for both the receipt sites and the donor sites. Buccal abscess was observed in 1 patient and recovered after rinsing and drainage. Two patients died of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Good effects can be achieved using anterolateral thigh flap to reconstruct buccal defects after en bloc resection of cancer, which is suitable for application in clinical practice.
