Immediate mandible reconstruction using microvascular surgery offers the best aesthetic and functional outcomes. The fibula free flap is recommended as the primary choice for most defects due to its advantages.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Microvascular surgery is the gold standard for mandible reconstruction.
  • Immediate reconstruction following segmental resection yields optimal results.
  • Key donor sites include fibula, iliac crest, radial forearm, and scapula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an algorithm for mandible reconstruction using microvascular osseous flaps.
  • To highlight the advantages of the fibula free flap for reconstruction.
  • To discuss donor site selection criteria for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of microvascular techniques for mandible reconstruction.
  • Evaluation of four primary vascularized bone and soft tissue donor sites.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Presentation of a decision-making algorithm for flap selection.

    • Main Results:

    • The fibula flap offers significant advantages: bone length, thickness, simultaneous harvest, and low donor site morbidity.
    • Fibula is ideal for anterior and large bony defects requiring osteotomies.
    • Alternative sites are best for soft tissue-dominant defects with minimal bone needs.

    Conclusions:

    • The fibula free flap should be the first choice for most mandible reconstructions.
    • Careful donor site selection is crucial for successful reconstruction.
    • Dental rehabilitation with prostheses and implants is integral to functional and aesthetic restoration.
