Microsurgical reconstruction of the mandible is complex, often requiring multiple stages to address bone, mucosa, and skin defects. Intestinal transfers offer a viable solution, showing good tolerance in the buccal cavity despite donor site limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Microsurgical Reconstruction
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Microsurgical transplants offer composite tissue advantages over traditional bone grafts for mandibular defects.
  • The intricate nature of mandibular anatomy, including overlying mucocutaneous tissues, presents unique reconstructive challenges.

Observation:

  • In a series of 37 microsurgical reconstructions, no single-stage flap design could fully address combined bone, mucosa, and skin defects.
  • The complexity of mucosal defects necessitated a staged approach in microsurgical mandibular reconstruction.

Findings:

  • Microsurgical mandibular reconstruction benefits from a staged approach to effectively manage mucosal defects.
  • Intestinal transfers demonstrate good tolerance within the buccal cavity, compensating for limited bone donor sites.

Implications:

  • Multi-stage reconstructive strategies are crucial for optimal outcomes in complex mandibular defects.
  • Intestinal flaps represent a valuable alternative for mandibular reconstruction, particularly when bone graft sources are scarce.
