ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the vascularized (deep circumflex iliac vessels) iliac crest graft with internal oblique muscle as a method for reconstruction of composite mandibular defect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Vascularized iliac crest graft with internal oblique muscle was used to reconstruct the composite mandibular defects in 10 patients. All clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. A detailed inspection of the case-notes was undertaken to ascertain the presenting diagnosis, the surgery, the complications and the outcome. The type of mandibular defect was recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 10 patients with composite mandibular defects including mandibular body, mandibular angle, mandibular ramus and the soft tissue around them, 7 patients were recorded with the defects of mandibular condyles. During the follow-up period from 3 months to 24 months, primary wound healing was observed in all patients, except one patient with minor muscular necrosis. All patients were satisfied with their facial contour and mandibular shape, without tumor recurrence. Donor site problems important enough to be recorded in the notes were minimal.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The vascularized iliac crest graft with internal oblique muscle offers a useful solution for reconstruction of composite mandibular defect. There is sufficient height and depth of bone to maintain a facial contour and mandibular shape. It can be used as a routine surgical technique to reconstruct composite mandibular defect.</p>
