Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the results of application of pedicled musculocutaneous flaps in defect reconstruction after surgery of oral cancer at Hue Central Hospital.
Methods: A prospective, clinical interventional descriptive study on 34 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients operated at Hue Central Hospital from March 2020 to December 2022.
Results: 34 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 (8.8%), the temporalis myofascial flap was used for 6 cases (17.6%), the submandibular fascia flap was used for 15 cases (44.1%) and the pectoralis major myocutaneous one was used for 10 cases (29.5%). The results of the study showed that 88,2% 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.
