ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of vascularized free forearm flaps in reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects after oral cancer operation.MethodsWe retrospectively analysed 12cases with oral and maxillofacial soft tissue defects which had been reconstructed with vascularized free forearm flaps.Data concerning the recipient vessels,the survived rate and complications was analysed.ResultsAll the flaps survived compeletely,with the success rate of 100 %(12/12).The vessel thrombosis rate was 8.3%(1/12) and the flap salvage rate was 100 %(1/1).The overall complication rate was 8.3 %(1/12).ConclusionThe free forearm flap is safe and reliable and is helpful to improve the function and shape in the reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial defects.
