RESUMO

In this retrospective study, the clinical and economic implications of microvascular reconstruction of the mandible were assessed, comparing immediate versus delayed surgical approaches. Utilizing data from two German university departments for oral and maxillofacial surgery, the study included patients who underwent mandibular reconstruction following continuity resection. The data assessed included demographic information, reconstruction details, medical history, dental rehabilitation status, and flap survival rates. In total, 177 cases (131 male and 46 females; mean age: 59 years) of bony free flap reconstruction (72 immediate and 105 delayed) were included. Most patients received adjuvant treatment (81% with radiotherapy and 51% combined radiochemotherapy), primarily for tumor resection. Flap survival was not significantly influenced by the timing of reconstruction, radiotherapy status, or the mean interval (14.5 months) between resection and reconstruction. However, immediate reconstruction had consumed significantly fewer resources. The rate of implant-supported masticatory rehabilitation was only 18% overall. This study suggests that immediate jaw reconstruction is economically advantageous without impacting flap survival rates. It emphasizes patient welfare as paramount over financial aspects in clinical decisions. Furthermore, this study highlights the need for improved pathways for masticatory rehabilitation, as evidenced by only 18% of patients with implant-supported dentures, to enhance quality of life and social integration.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of three different osteosynthesis plate systems on failure rates and complications after continuity-interrupting mandibular resections with alloplastic reconstructions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Records of respective patients from 2010 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The analyses included the osteosynthesis plate type (2.4 MANDIBULAR (RP1: MANDIBULAR [Medicon®, Tuttlingen, Germany]; RP2: Modus® Reco 2.5 [Medartis®, Basel, Switzerland]; and RP3: Modus 2 Mandible [Medartis®, Basel, Switzerland]), extent & location of the defect, age, sex, radiotherapy, and nicotine abuse. In case of failure, timepoint, and the problem, namely oral/extraoral dehiscence, screw loosening, and plate fractures that led to removal, were analyzed. Complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo system. RESULTS: A total of 136 patients were included. The mean follow-up time was 18 ± 26 months. Survival rates after 1, 2, and 5 years were 69.9%, 66.9%, and 64.7%, respectively. Although survival was not significantly associated with the reconstruction system, the most frequent complications were seen in cases of RP1 & RP2 when compared to RP3 (p = 0.033). In brief, dehiscences were seen significantly less often in cases of RP3 (12.5%) when compared to RP1 (44.7%) and RP2 (26.9%; p = 0.024). Fractures of the osteosynthesis systems occurred in 3 of 4 cases (75%) with RP1, in 1 of 4 cases (25%) using RP2, and in no single case using the RP3 system (p = 0.03). Most of the observed complications occurred up to 12 months postoperatively. A total plate survival rate of 64.7% and a total plate complication rate of 47.8% were seen. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, it seems that RP3 should be preferred over RP1 and RP2 regarding failure rates and complications.

RESUMO

This clinical prospective randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the differences between Radial (RFFF) and Ulnar (UFFF) Forearm Free Flap in terms of success, performance, and donor site morbidity. Thirty patients with reconstruction of the head and neck region were included. For the first time, this study assessed flap-perfusion characteristics, donor-site-wound-healing dynamics and hand perfusion using hyperspectral imaging. Further, subjective (Likert-scale, DASH-score) and objective (grip/pinch-strength) parameters of donor site morbidity were analysed. Postoperative follow-up was performed until 6 months after index surgery. With 100% of patients, RFFF and UFFF were equally successful. Compared to surrounding reference, UFFF revealed significant lower tissue oxygenation saturation (StO2) than RFFF. Compared with UFFF, blood flow in both the thenar and hypothenar region were significantly reduced 6 months following RFFF transfer. After four weeks, 27% more patients demonstrated impaired wound healing following RFFF transfer. After 6 months, epithelial-surface continuity was restored in all patients of both groups. After 6 months, overall rates of both subjective and objective donor site morbidity were comparable between RFFF and UFFF. RFFF and UFFF both demonstrate similar success rates and HSI-perfusion dynamics following transfer. After 4 weeks, wound-healing disorder appeared significantly more often in RFFF than in UFFF; however, they became equal after 6 months. RFFF and UFFF can be considered as mutual alternatives.
