Objective To report 4 methods of reconstructing soft tissue defects in oral and maxillofacial regions after tumors resection using cervical pedicle tissue flaps. Methods One hundred seventy-two soft tissue defects were repaired with cervical myocutaneous flaps after resection of oral and facial cancer( 165 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 7 cases of salivary carcinoma). The clinical stage of the tumors was stage Ⅰ in 21 cases, stage Ⅱ in 116 cases and stage Ⅲin 35 cases. Primary sites of the lesions were the tongue (59 cases), buccal mucosa (55 cases), lower gingiva (26 cases), floor of the mouth (25 cases), parotid gland (4 cases) and oropharynx (3 cases). Infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps were used in 60 cases, platysma flaps in 45 cases, sternocleidomastoid flaps in 59 cases and submental island flaps in 8 cases. The sizes of skin paddle ranged from 2.5 cm×5.0 cm to 5.0 cm ×8.0 cm. Results Among 153 survival flaps, there were55 infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps, 40 platysma flaps, 52 sternocleidomastoid flaps and 6 submental island flaps. There were 11 cases of total flap necrosis and8 cases of partial flap necrosis. The success rates were 91.67%(55/60) for infrahyoid myocutaneous flap, 88.89%(40/45) for platysma flap, 88.14% (52/59) for sternocleidomastoid flap and 75%(6/8) for submental island flap. After a follow-up of 3 11 years(5.7 years on average) among 101 cases local reccurence in 18 cases, cervical reccurence in 4 cases, distance metastasis in 2 cases. The survical rate at 3 years were 83.17%(84/101). Conclusion Cervical pedicle tissue flaps haveclinical value in reconstruction of small and medium-sized soft tissue defects after resection of oral and maxillofacial tumors.

【摘要】 目的 〖JP2〗探讨护理干预对前臂游离皮瓣移植修复口腔癌围手术期软组织缺损患者的经验。 方法 2005年6月—2009年6月，对收治的63例口腔癌术后软组织缺损应用前臂桡侧游离皮瓣修复患者的围手术期护理方法进行回顾性分析，并做好术前心理护理及相关准备，术后严密观察皮瓣移植情况，以便及时发现血管危象，同时做好口腔、呼吸道、体位及皮瓣供受区护理。 结果 通过精心护理，密切观察移植皮瓣，及早发现、及时处理血管危象，从而确保63例患者皮瓣移植一次性成活率达95.24%，疗效满意。 结论 科学合理的围手术期护理是前臂游离皮瓣移植修复口腔癌术后软组织缺损成功的重要保证。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the perioperative nursing experiences of the transplanted forearm free flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue defects after oral cancer operation. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of perioperative nursing care for 63 patients with soft tissue defects after oral cancer reconstructed with radial forearm free flaps. Psychological care and related preparation work was well carried out before operation. After operation, we closely monitored the outcome of transplantation of skin flaps to detect vascular crisis as early as possible, and at the same time, intensive care for oral cavity, respiratory tract, flap position and the affected areas was done. Results By intensive care, closely monitoring the transplanted flaps, and early discovery and management of the vascular crisis, we achieved a satisfying one-time transplantation survival rate of 95.24% for the 63 patients. Conclusion Scientific and proper perioperative care is an important factor in the successful reconstruction of soft tissue defects with free forearm flaps after oral cancer operation.
目的:组织瓣修复缺损是头颈部肿瘤切除术中的重要手段和必要环节。本研究总结65例颊癌和口咽癌不同范围组织缺损用局部带蒂组织瓣的修复方法。方法: 回顾2001~2009年我科65例口腔颊癌及口咽癌切除术后选择腭瓣、颏下瓣、面动脉逆行皮瓣、颊脂垫颊肌复合瓣修复颊部及口咽部组织缺损,病变范围和治疗结果。结果: 65例皮瓣中,17例腭瓣全部成活,29例颏下瓣26例全部成活,2例部分坏死,1例表层皮肤坏死, 7例面动脉逆行皮瓣6例全部成活,1例坏死,12例颊脂垫或颊脂垫颊肌复合瓣全部成活11例,1例部分坏死,总成活率96.9％。31例患者术后有不同程度的张口受限,咀嚼和吞咽功能基本正常。结论: 根据颊癌和口咽癌的病变范围决定采用不同的临近带蒂组织瓣修复缺损,修复效果确切,可以明显减少手术创伤和术后并发症,尤其适用于年老及较多基础疾病患者,仍应作为头颈部肿瘤术后缺损修复的重要方法。
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of the bipaddled split pectoralis major myocutaneous flap for immediate reconstruction of oral mucosal defects and neck defects after resection of recurrent oral cancer. MethodsSix patients with oral mucosal defects combined with neck defects after recurrent oral cancer resection were treated with bipaddled split pectoralis major myocutaneous flap between September 2013 and September 2014. There were 5 males and 1 female with an average age of 54.7 years (range, 45-62 years), including 4 cases of recurrent tongue cancer, 1 case of recurrent mandibular gingival cancer, and 1 case of mouth floor carcinoma. All patients underwent local recurrence at 8 to 14 months after first operation, with no distant metastasis. The defects of the intraoral mucosa was 4.0 cm×2.5 cm to 6.5 cm×3.5 cm and the defect of the neck skin was 5.5 cm×3.5 cm to 7.5 cm×5.0 cm. The pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (14.0 cm×3.5 cm to 17.0 cm×5.5 cm) were incised at the level of the 3rd to the 4th rib, and then split down along the muscle fiber till about 2 cm away from the thoracoacromial vessels, forming 2 independent skin paddles with 1-2 branch vessels to the pedicles of the distal ones. The distal skin paddles were used for oral reconstruction while the proximal paddles for repair of neck defects. The chest donor sites were sutured directly. ResultsCervical haematoma and infection happened in 1 patient respectively after operation, and were cured after symptomatic treatment. All 6 split pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps with 12 skin paddles completely survived. All patients were followed up 6 to 18 months (mean, 11 months). One patient died of pulmonary metastasis at 8 months after operation and the other 5 survived without relapse or metastasis during follow-up. The intraoral paddles showed good shape with satisfactory speech function and swallowing recovery. The paddles also healed perfectly on the neck with flat outlooks, and all patients obtained full appearance and free movement of the neck. No fistula formed on the submandibular region and neck. ConclusionThe bipaddled split pectoralis major myocutaneous flap can complete simultaneous immediate reconstruction of oral mucosal defect and neck defect. It is very useful in the treatment of recurrent oral cancer.
