Objectives: The deep circumflex iliac artery flap (DCIA) and vascularized fibular free flap (FFF) are mainstay flaps for maxillary defect reconstruction. This study compared the functional outcomes and success rates of these flaps to provide midface reconstruction strategies.
Materials And Methods: Maxillary defects reconstructed with DCIA or FFF at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between May 2016 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the accuracy of three different methods of dental implant placement (immediate intraoral, immediate extraoral, delayed) using surgical guides for patients who had undergone mandibular reconstruction.
- The results showed that immediate intraoral placement had significantly greater deviations in angular and three-dimensional measurements compared to the other two methods, especially in terms of entry and apical points.
- The conclusion suggests that delayed implant placement is the most accurate approach when using surgical guides in these patients.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) preservation on donor site morbidity and function after harvesting a vascularized iliac bone flap (VIBF).
Methods: Patients who underwent jaws reconstruction with VIBF were divided into a maintaining the anterior superior iliac spine (MASIS) group and a not maintaining the anterior superior iliac spine (NMASIS) group. Pain, tenderness, sensory deficit, gait disturbance, and function of the donor site were evaluated before and after the operation.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares two techniques for using iliac bone flaps in reconstructing mandibular defects, focusing on different orientations of the iliac crest.
- Data was collected from 78 patients, dividing them into two groups based on the orientation of the iliac crest during surgery.
- Results showed that the group with the iliac crest towards the alveolar process had better outcomes in bone symmetry, width, intermaxillary distance, and cortical thickness, suggesting it may be a more effective method for mandible reconstruction.
