Introduction Prior to 3 Decades Ago Majority of Head and Neck Defects closed with Local Tissue Local Skin Flaps from other sites to the H/N Forehead Flap…Indians then McGregor in 1963 1965 Bakamjian…Deltopectoral Flap Limited Reach
Slide 4-

Introduction Early 1900’s Alexis Carrel Free tissue transfer in animals (jejunum to neck) 1950’s Jacobsen and Suarez-- first anastomoses in animal 1959 Seidenberg– free jejunum segments to repair pharyngoesophageal defects 1973 Daniels and Taylor– “free flap” First free cutaneous flap
Slide 5-

History 1976 Baker and Panje– first free flap in head and neck cancer reconstruction Groin pedicled on the circumflex iliac artery Other cutaneous flaps Axillary Dorsalis pedis
Slide 6-

Introduction Free flaps grew out of favor in the late 1970s to early 80s Few donor sites Inconsistent small pedicles Technically difficult High morbidity
Slide 7-

Introduction Pedicled flaps grew in favor (70s and 80s) 1976 – Tansini – Latissimus dorsi Pectoralis major Trapezius Sternocleidomastoid 1979 – Ariyan – harvest rib with PMC 1979 – Demergasso and Piazza – harvest spine of the scapula with trapezius flap
Slide 8-

Regional Flaps Advantages/Uses: Bulky Quick and easy to harvest Single stage Minimal donor site morbidity Required one surgical team Large Tongue Base/TG Defects Carotid Coverage Disadvantages: Bulky Downward Pull of Flap Atrophy Arc of Rotation Limiting Distal Flap Necrosis
Slide 9-

Free Tissue Transfer 1979 – Taylor et al. – iliac crest composite flap 1980 – dos Santos et al. – scapular cutaneous flap 1981 – Yang et al. – radial forearm free flap 1982 – Nassif et al. – parascapular cutaneous flap 1982 – Song et al. – lateral arm fasciocutaneous flap 1983 – Baek et al. – lateral cutaneous thigh flap 1985 – Drever et al. – rectus Abdominis myocutaneous flap 1986 – scapular osseocutaneous flap

Advantages of Free Tissue Transfer Two team approach Improved vascularity and wound healing Low rate of resorption Defect size little consequence Potential for sensory and motor innervation Permits use of osseointegrated implants
Slide 11-

Advantages of Free Tissue Transfer Wide variety of available tissue types Large amount of composite tissue Tailored to match defect Wide range of skin characteristics More efficient use of harvested tissue Immediate reconstruction
Slide 12-

Disadvantages of Free Tissue Transfer Technically demanding Increased operating room time Increased flap failure rate Functional disability at donor site
Slide 13-

Preoperative Planning Amount and type of tissue required Bone, soft tissue bulk, external vs. internal lining Anticipated functional gains History of previous surgery or injury around the donor site Donor morbidity Patient positioning and donor location Operative time Need for carotid coverage Patient factors General medical status Wishes and expectations
Slide 14-

Preoperative Planning Patient selection Age Diabetes Arteriosclerosis/Cardiac Tobacco use Collagen vascular disease Coagulopathies Hypercoagulable states
Slide 15-

Oral Cavity and Oropharynx Reconstruction Thin pliable mucosa Possibilities Radial Forearm Scapular/Parascapular Lateral Arm Lateral thigh
Slide 85-

Tongue Reconstruction Reconstruction aimed at preserving what has not been resected Less than 1/3-1/2– primary closure vs. STSG Over ½--consider free free flap if expected contracture makes speech/bolus transit difficult (sensate) Anterior 2/3–consider coned RFFF (sensate
Slide 86-

Tongue Reconstruction For tongue base and total glossectomy defects—need adequate oral mound to approximate with palate for speech and bolus transit May consider rectus abdominus and latissimus dorsi free flaps
Slide 87-

Hypopharynx and Cervical Esophageal Reconstruction Must be prepared for possibility of complete circumferential pharyngeal defect Over 3 cm remains– primary closure Less than 3 cm—pec flap vs. RFFF Total loss above thoracic inlet– tubed pec flap, RFFF, scapular FF, lateral thigh free flap, or free jejunum flap Total loss below thoracic inlet– gastric pull-up
Slide 88-

Mandibular Reconstruction Loss of anterior mandibular arch Loss of chin/lip support Sensory loss Malocclusion Retrognathia Lack of oral competence/eating/speaking Consider osteocutaneous free flaps-- fibula, iliac crest, scapula, radius
