Background: In recent years, the composite anterolateral thigh free flap with tensor fasciae latae or vastus lateralis has been a new-applied type of flap that can provide very good reconstruction materials in complex defects of lower leg and foot. The study purpose is to evaluate the systematically complications of donor site, related factors to results of the donor area, in order to apply the result to improve the treatment, which have not been much reported in literature. Materials and Methods: Systematic donor site morbilidy evaluation in a prospective, uncontrolled clinical descriptive study of 33 composite anterolateral thigh free flaps in various forms to reconstruct anatomical structures or to resconstruct deep defects combined with covering the surfaces for complex soft tissue defects in lower extremities for 32 patients due to different causes in lower leg and foot area from 2014-2019 at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Examining and evaluating aesthetic and functional result of donor-site 3 months and 6 months up to 2 year after surgery; evaluating the correlation between the width and the type of the flaps and donor site closure methods. Result: In 33 composite flaps used, flap width to thigh circumference less than 20% in 27 cases (81.8%), more than 20% in 6 cases (18.20% ); There were 28 cases in which the donor site was directly closed, 5 cases required skin graft; All direct closed cases had flap width/ thigh circumference index below 20%; On the contrary, in cases having this index greater than 20%, the donor site required skin graft with p < 0.01. There are 11/33 (33.33%) of cases reported complications in donor site ; lateral thigh paresthesia is the most complicated complication with 8/33 cases (24.24%), followed by bad scarring 3/33 cases (9.09%). Conclusion: Long term follow up donor site morbility after composite anterior thigh free flap present 11/33 cases (33.33%): mostly complications of the donor site are thigh paresthesia with 8/33 cases (24.24%), and bad scarring 3/33 cases (9,09%), which improve time by time.

ABSTRACT Adequate reconstruction of defects that are consequences of glossectomy is of primary importance for achieving satisfactory functional results and improving the quality of life. AIM: The aim of this study was to report a case of free flap reconstruction of a subtotal glossectomy defect and discuss it in relation to other available methods. CASE REPORT: A 48- year-old woman was operated on for a T4N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. A subtotal glossectomy via mandibular swing procedure with bilateral supraomohyoid neck dissection and reconstruction with a radial forearm free flap (RFFF) was performed. Surgery was followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. RESULTS: The post-operative period was uneventful. The patient resumed intelligible speech evaluated as “excellent” and oral feeding. The donor site morbidity was acceptable. Present reconstructive options of the tongue include two categories: to maintain mobility or to provide bulk. In glossectomy with 30 to 50 percent preservation of the original musculature, maintaining the mobility of the remaining tongue by a thin, pliable flap is preferred. This can be achieved by infrahyoid myofascial, medial sural artery perforator flap, RFFF, anterolateral thigh and ulnar forearm flap. When the post-resectional volume is less than 30 percent of the original tongue, the reconstruction shifts to restoration of bulk to facilitate swallowing by providing contact of the neotongue with the palate. Flaps providing bulk include the free TRAM flap, latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap, pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap and trapezius island flap. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of advanced tongue cancer requires adequate reconstruction with restoration of speech, swallowing and oral feeding. Free tissue transfer seems to achieve superior functional results with acceptable donor site morbidity when indicated.
