Summary

The osteo-septocutaneous fibular flap effectively reconstructs mandible defects, offering advantages like a two-team approach and good soft-tissue support. This technique shows no long-term donor-site morbidity in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Mandibular defects pose significant reconstructive challenges, often requiring complex surgical solutions.
  • The osteoseptocutaneous fibular flap, first described by Hidalgo in 1989, is a versatile option for segmental mandible reconstruction.

Observation:

  • Four cases of segmental mandible reconstruction using the osteoseptocutaneous fibular flap are presented.
  • Indications included defects from epidermoid carcinoma, ameloblastoma, and war injury, with associated soft-tissue loss.
  • All flaps demonstrated successful survival and provided adequate soft-tissue coverage.

Findings:

  • The osteoseptocutaneous fibular flap offers several advantages, including a two-team surgical approach facilitated by tourniquet use.

  • Its robust blood supply supports skin islands for intra- or extraoral reconstruction.
  • The fibula's biomechanical properties allow miniplate fixation, obviating the need for postoperative intermaxillary fixation.

    • Implications:

    • This flap is a reliable and advantageous option for complex mandibular reconstructions.
    • It facilitates dental rehabilitation with osteointegrated implants.
    • The procedure demonstrates minimal long-term donor-site morbidity, enhancing patient outcomes.
