The authors present a descriptive work on the reconstruction of large oromandibular defects with revascularized fibula free flaps in a group of patients treated by surgical resection of bony and soft tissues of the mandible. The principal objective is preoperative planning for the best morphological, functional, and aesthetic result. The authors report 15 reconstructions of wide oromandibular defects by revascularized fibula free flaps. The average patient age was 42 years. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. Correct surgical planning reduces surgical timing, minimizes the chance of failure during the reconstruction, and contemporaneously increases treatment efficacy and the best functional and aesthetic results.

Abstract

The authors present a descriptive work on the reconstruction of large oromandibular defects with revascularized fibula free flaps in a group of patients treated by surgical resection of bony and soft tissues of the mandible. The principal objective is preoperative planning for the best morphological, functional, and aesthetic result. The authors report 15 reconstructions of wide oromandibular defects by revascularized fibula free flaps. The average patient age was 42 years. The mean follow-up period was 18 months. Correct surgical planning reduces surgical timing, minimizes the chance of failure during the reconstruction, and contemporaneously increases treatment efficacy and the best functional and aesthetic results.
