Abstract

Nasal reconstruction has continued to advance in accordance with Menick's vision as it was first conceived. His combination of radial forearm free flaps with the gold standard of paramedian forehead flaps is highly regarded for producing superior outcomes, and it has received widespread praise as a consequence. In this study, we present nine patients who had nose reconstruction using free flaps. All of the patients had successful outcomes. Using the FACE-Q questionnaire, we assessed the degree to which patients were satisfied with both the functional and aesthetic aspects of their appearance. The outcomes were positive for nine of the patients.

Abstract

Background: Central facial soft tissue defect poses a unique challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. The three-dimensional properties of the aesthetic facial subunit and its related function are the goals for reconstruction. Considering the prominent social role of the face, the procedure to achieve a good quality of life for patients may cost more than a single surgery. This single-center study presents an algorithm of treatment for central facial soft tissue defect and it’s proposed classification according to the authors’ experiences. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records and photos of patients who underwent central facial soft tissue defect reconstruction in Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from 2009 to 2019. Patients who underwent free flap reconstruction were followed up, and the primary outcomes were assessed using the FACE-Q head and neck cancer (FACE-Q H&N) scale. A classification system for central facial soft tissue defect with seven subtypes (1–7) based on the facial subunit and its treatment was proposed. Results: Twenty-five patients were included. The malignant tumor was the main etiology (88%), with basal cell carcinoma being the primary cancer pathology (64%). The average defect size was 120 cm2 (32-416 cm2) and most defects fell into subtype 6 of the classification (32%). Anterolateral thigh free flap (ALT) was the main flap of choice (64%), followed by radial forearm free flap (36%), with 92% of flaps succeeding rate from this series. All of the patients underwent at least one ancillary procedure following the reconstruction, while the average was 2 (1-6) procedures. FACE-Q H&N outcomes, especially on the appearance and appearance distress scale, showed a low to moderate score with a 72% response rate. Conclusions: Central facial soft-tissue defect continues to challenge reconstructive surgeons. While the advances in free tissue transfer might improve the general outcomes, the numerous and costly secondary procedures do not usually end up in the best appearance. This study displayed the need for modern reconstruction modalities that provide high satisfaction in aesthetic and functional outcomes with fewer secondary procedures. Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCAT) might be the future choice.

Abstract

Background: Over the past years, microvascular free tissue transfer has become increasingly popular in the field of plastic surgery. Our center has also been actively performing these complex surgeries for extensive defect closure. In this study spanning five years, our objective is to examine the challenges commonly encountered in free flap reconstruction and identify factors that contribute to the failure of such flaps, with the ultimate goal of enhancing our learning curve.Methods: This article presents a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent microvascular free tissue transfer procedures performed by a single surgeon (PA) and teams of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery residents from 2014 to 2018. Multivariate analysis was conducted to identify the factors associated with free flap failure.Results: Between 2014 and 2018, a total of 203 microvascular free tissue transfers were performed to reconstruct defects at various anatomical sites. The overall viable flap rate for microvascular free flap reconstructions, irrespective of the indication or anatomical location, was found to be 90.6%. The type of flap, whether it was a perforator or non-perforator flap, emerged as the main significant factor influencing free flap viability.Conclusion: Microvascular free tissue transfer represents an excellent reconstructive option for addressing large defects requiring extensive or composite flaps. By acknowledging the factors contributing to free flap failure, we can optimize outcomes and provide the best possible results for our patients.

Abstract

Synovial sarcoma, although rare, is commonly diagnosed in patients under 20 years of age. This case presents the case of a 21-year-old female with synovial sarcoma affecting the 1st to 3rd metatarsal and tarsal bones. She underwent extensive tumor resection, followed by fibula free flap. The fibula was reconstructed into an L-shape to provide structural support. A bypass was performed because of compromised blood flow to the first digit, but the digit failed. Skin necrosis occurred after tumor dissection, necessitating a second reconstruction with an anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) after six weeks. At the years follow-up, the reconstruction was stable, and radiation therapy further improved the outcomes. The patient’s gait was satisfactory, with special shoes for weight bearing. This case demonstrates the potential of limb-sparing surgery with free fibula flaps for synovial sarcoma resection, which offers promising functional and psychological benefits.

Abstract

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a crucial component in the management of tongue-based locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (LASCC) due to its ability to decrease tumor mass and facilitate free tissue transplantation. The utilization of adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy has been observed to decelerate the progression of post-operative tumor growth. Probability of free flap failure is elevated. Post-operative complications and the long-term functional outcomes of speaking, salivation, and swallowing determine the quality of free flaps.Methods: A retrospective review of tongue LASCC patients who underwent NAC followed by glossectomy and free tissue transfer from 2015 to 2018. Tongue functional outcomes of speaking, swallowing, and salivation were assessed using FACE-Q scale in 3 times follow-up period.Result: This study included 7 patients who underwent tongue reconstruction. Treatment modalities were based on tumor presentation, with 4 patients (57.1%) receiving Taxane, 5-Fluorouracil, and Paclitaxel/Doclitaxel (TPF), and 3 patients (42.1%) receiving Paclitaxel and 5-Fluorouracil (PF). Tongue reconstruction utilized the radial forearm free flap in 5 patients (71.4%) and the anterolateral thigh free flap in 2 patients (28.6%). Intraoperatively, NAC had no impact on the integrity of small and reliable donor vessels. Three patients died from tumor metastases after the second follow-up assessment, while one patient was lost to follow-up. The study found no significant association between chemotherapy dosage and free flap vitality (P = 0.629). FACE-Q assessments revealed moderate to low scores in speaking, eating, and drinking outcomes.Conclusion: Tongue reconstruction after NAC in LASCC patients remains a challenging procedure for surgeons. While the consideration of surgical difficulties due to damage of the donor vessels demands a more structured pre-operative plan. No correlation between the exposure of NAC or AR to free flap complication as well as functional outcome.

Abstract

This case addressed patient and free flap survival after cardiac arrest with the contentious use of vasopressors amid concerns about potential vasoconstrictive effects on flap vitality. A 59-year-old male with mucoepidermoid carcinoma underwent post-total maxillectomy and double free flap reconstruction (free fibular flap and anterolateral thigh free flap). Intraoperatively, he experienced cardiac arrest after anastomosis due to hypovolemia or hypoxia, requiring external cardiac massage and vasopressor administration. Despite the initial restoration of circulation, subsequent cardiac arrest ensued, necessitating further resuscitation. Postoperatively, vasopressors were also administered due to hemodynamic instability. Contrary to concerns, both flaps demonstrated sustained vitality, challenging prevailing apprehensions about vasopressor-induced vasoconstriction compromising flap viability. This observation suggests that vasopressors may not significantly threaten flap viability, prompting reconsideration of hesitations and encouraging further investigation. The study advocates for a judicious evaluation of vasopressor administration in free flap procedures, enriching clinical considerations for optimal patient care.
