Doświadczenia własne w zastosowaniu wolnych płatów udowych w rekonstrukcji ubytków po rozległych operacjach nowotworów ziłośliwych głowy i szyi
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 1
Abstract
SUMMARY Introduction: Free flaps with vascular anastomosis have been widely used in clinical practice for more than 30 years. They are standard in reconstructive surgery following extensive resections caused by neoplasms of the head and neck. The anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) constitutes very good reconstructive material due to the long vascular pedicle, the appropriate diameter of vessels, the large skin island plane, and thickness depending on requirements. Material: The own material comprises 5 patients who have had extensive neoplastic infiltrations removed at different anatomic locations within the area of healthy tissue. Results: Reconstructions have been conducted using a microvascular thigh flap (ALT). All of the operated patients are under constant supervision. The observation period ranges from 2 to 3 months. No recurrence of the neoplastic process or graft rejection has been observed in any of the patients.
