Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Many factors are known to play a role in flap necrosis, such as inadequate blood flow and disturbed venous drainage, which lead to decreased flap nutrition and necrosis. Aim of the study was to assess a custom made device for flap adaptation and stabilization for different flaps like nasolabial flap, Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap( PMMC), Collagen membrane, Buccal pad of fat etc. A device was fabricated using biocompatible and economical resources and used on patients and assessed for its compatibility and adaptation. It was further found that the device served the purpose to maximum and had many advantages. Hence fabrication of such a device would lead to reduction in many complications of various flaps used in head and neck surgeries.
