Summary

The peroneal flap is a highly effective option for oral reconstruction, offering excellent survival rates and functional recovery. This versatile flap provides a thin, wide graft with robust blood supply, minimizing donor site issues.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Oral defects resulting from cancer resection or trauma present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional reconstructive methods may involve bulky flaps or donor site morbidity.
  • The peroneal flap, a fasciocutaneous flap, has emerged as a potential solution for complex oral reconstructions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of using the peroneal flap for oral cavity reconstruction.
  • To highlight the advantages of the peroneal flap in terms of flap characteristics and donor site healing.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of eight patients undergoing oral reconstruction.
  • Utilized the peroneal flap for tongue (six cases) and oral wall (two cases) defects.

  • Assessed flap survival, functional outcomes, and donor site sequelae.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete flap survival was achieved in all eight cases.
    • The peroneal flap demonstrated favorable characteristics: thin, wide dimensions, large vessel diameter, and long pedicle.
    • The donor site exhibited minimal sequelae, and flap skin gradually adapted to a mucosal-like quality with hair regression.

    Conclusions:

    • The peroneal flap is a superior source for oral cavity reconstruction compared to other available flaps.
    • Its thin, pliable nature, robust vascularity, and minimal donor site morbidity make it an ideal choice for restoring oral function and aesthetics.
