Os defeitos mandibulares devido à ressecção de lesão óssea interferem a harmonia e estética facial comprometendo a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Grandes defeitos exigem planejamento minucioso, principalmente quando lançamos mão de enxertos e placas de reconstrução, evitando assim resultados insatisfatórios ou até mesmo sequelas. Apesar de algumas classificações dos defeitos mandibulares vêm sendo discutidas ao longo dos anos, ainda não há um protocolo definido para reconstrução mandibular. O uso de prototipagem na Cirurgia Bucomaxilofacial tem se tornado cada vez mais frequente; a precisão da reconstrução, diminuição do tempo de cirurgia reflete em recuperação mais rápida do paciente. Mesmo com a ferramenta da prototipagem, grandes lesões e perdas ósseas permanecem como grande desafio ao cirurgião.  O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de reconstrução mandibular no qual houve a necessidade de ser tratado com remoção de placa de reconstrução e nova reabilitação cirúrgica do paciente.Descritores: Mandíbula; Reconstrução Mandibular; Modelos Biológicos.ReferênciasSantos LCS, Seixas AM, Barbosa B, Cincura RNS.

ABSTRACT This case series highlights the advantages in the use of three regional flaps, submental flap, sternocleidomastoid flap and transverse cervical flap in maxillofacial primary defect reconstruction after ablative cancer surgery through presentation of three head and neck cancer patients in whom it was decided to do pedicled flaps rather than free flaps. Aim and objective This article is done in an attempt for encouraging for more introduction of these three flaps in head and neck reconstruction practice, and to encourage more studies be done to describe skin territory of cervical flap. Materials and methods Three patients presented to oral and maxillofacial department, diagnosed as having different kinds of cancer. All were managed according to the evidence-based guideline of head and neck cancer management, including the work up, diagnosis, TNM classification, surgical treatment, adjuvant treatment and follow-up. In all the three cases, regional flaps were used to close the primary defect. For the first patient, transverse cervical flap was used, the sternocleidomastoid flap in the second and submental flap in the third one. Results All flaps were easy to be harvested, in term of time and technique, and successful in term of viability, extension and in achieving the functional and cosmetic aim of reconstruction, with minimum donor site morbidity, all the patient are enjoying good quality of life. Conclusion and recommendations The regional flaps have their place to overcome limitation of free flaps due to the shortage in the armamentarium available in the hospital, especially in low resources regions, or limitations related to patients general condition, in addition, regional flaps are the best option available in case of failed free flap, or when free flap failure is anticipated and avoided. Highlighting the different maneuvers in harvesting and using regional pedicled flaps for further extensions widens the scope of indications and giving the reconstructive surgeon variability of options in reconstruction, obviates the need for special microvascular expertise in free flaps with comparable results and relatively less complication.

Abstract Background Despite efforts of head and neck functional reconstruction, anatomic restoration has been used until now. This article describes our experience of using a chimeric free fibular osteocutaneous flap conjoined with a functional muscle free flap, defined as dynamic oromandibular reconstruction. Methods Through a retrospective chart review, four consecutive patients who underwent reconstruction with a total fibular free flap were included. The former two patients underwent reconstruction using a conventional osteocutaneous free fibular flap. The latter two patients had an oromandibular defect after cancer resection and underwent dynamic oromandibular reconstruction with a chimeric free fibular flap conjoined with a gracilis free flap or vastus lateralis muscle free flap. Results In the speech analysis, the dynamic group revealed a satisfactory tongue movement. Protrusion and lateralization were the most different movement changes. The tongue range of motion score was 62.5 in the dynamic group and 25.0 in the control group. On the dynamic magnetic resonance imaging, the contact of the soft palate with the tongue was excellent, and the epiglottis closure during deglutition was complete. In the three-dimensional volumetric analysis of mandibular aesthetic contouring, the dynamic group showed a much smaller difference in hemifacial volume, with a difference of 73.7 mL in the dynamic group and 101.76 mL in the control group. Conclusion This study is a preliminary trial of dynamic oromandibular reconstruction using chimeric free fibular flaps with functional muscle transfer. We demonstrated the possibility of dynamic oromandibular reconstruction, which enhanced more functional aspects in the patients in this study.

Scapula tip free flaps (STFFs) have become an increasingly popular option for head and neck reconstruction. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using the STFF in a horizontal orientation to take advantage of the anatomy of the scapular tip bone to re-create a mandibular symphysis. Eight patients underwent oromandibular reconstruction with a horizontally oriented STFF between October 2016 and June 2020. Virtual surgical planning was used to design the bony reconstruction in 6 cases. Primary outcomes, including flap survival, complications, and return to oral diet, were collected. Cephalometric measurements were obtained to compare preoperative and postoperative mandibular projection and width. All flaps survived without compromise, and no fistulas developed postoperatively. Seven patients returned to taking an oral diet. Cephalometric analysis revealed comparable measurements between preoperative and postoperative mandibles and reconstructed mandibles, respectively. STFFs may be oriented horizontally to reconstruct large anterior mandibular defects with satisfactory results.
