[Applied anatomical characteristics of vascularized iliac muscle flap and its clinical application in repairing oral and maxillofacial defects].

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and safety of the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) derived chimeric flap through the anatomical study of the blood vessels and perforating branches in the ilioinguinal region, and to provide the basis for selecting different DCIA chimeric flap schemes according to the difficulty of surgery, defect conditions and repair needs.

Methods: Six Chinese adult specimens were dissected by retrograde perfusion of red latex into bilateral femoral arteries. At the same time, the length, diameter and main branch position of DCIA vascular pedicle were measured in 12 lower limb CTAs, and compared with the anatomical data.

[Clinical study on the recovery of sensory function in tissue flaps repairing the defect of oral and maxillofacial region].

The recovery of sensibility in 29 cases non-neurolorized tissue flaps and 4 cases neurolorized flaps have been studied clinically. The results showed that:the sensory function started to return from 3 months after operation and recovered gradually.Pain sensibility recovered first,followed by tactile,thermal and two-point discrimination sensibility.
