Delayed Reconstruction

Introduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate a surgical technique and to present the results of delayed reconstruction of palatomaxillary defects using fibula free flap (FFF). Methods. A review was conducted for nine patients who underwent palatomaxillary reconstruction using FFF. Primary disease, type of reconstruction, defect area, fibula segment length and number of osteotomies, radiotherapy, and implant installation after FFF reconstruction were analyzed. Results. All nine patients underwent delayed reconstruction. The fibula shaft was osteotomized into two segments in seven patients and three segments in one patient with bilateral Brown’s revised classification IV/d defect. One case was planned by using a computer-aided design computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system with a navigation system. The mean length of the grafted fibula bone was 68.06 mm. Dental implant treatment was performed in six patients. Six patients received radiation therapy, and there were no specific complications related to the radiation therapy. In one case, the defect was reconstructed with FFF flow-through from a radial forearm free flap. Conclusion. This clinical study demonstrated that the fibula flap is an ideal donor-free flap in a palatomaxillary defect. Delayed reconstruction using an FFF can reduce the complication and failure rates.
