Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the results of application of pedicled flaps in reconstruction of oral cavity defects after surgery for oral carcinoma.
Methods: A prospective, clinical interventional descriptive study on 36 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients operated at Hue Central Hospital from March 2020 to May 2023.
Results: 36 pedicled musculocutaneous flaps were used in defect reconstruction after surgery of oral cancer. Four types of flaps were use, in which the temporalis fascia flap was used for 3 cases (8.3%), the temporalis myofascial flap was used for 6 cases (16.7%), the submandibular fascia flap was used for 15 cases (41.7%) and the pectoralis major myocutaneous one was used for 12 cases (33.3%). The results of the study showed that 83.3% of flaps were good. There were no serious complications after surgery. Good function recovery and low recurrence rate were recorded after surgery.
Conclusion: Using flexible pedicled musculocutaneous flaps is a suitable choice for moderate and large defects after surgery along with major organ reconstruction to preserve vital function and morphology of the oral cavity for cancer patients.
