| Popis: | The authors have performed 13 cases of vascularized cranial bone grafts for reconstruction of maxillofacial defects since 1986. Two types of flaps were used: the parietal osteofascial flap pedicled to the parieto-temporal fascia based on the superficial temporal artery and the temporalis osteomuscular flap pedicled to the temporalis muscle based on the deep temporal artery. Zygomatico-orbital complex, maxilla and mandible were reconstructed and hemifacial microsomia was also treated. The results of vascularized cranial bone grafts pedicled to fascia were as good as those of grafts pedicled to muscle. There were no major complications. Two types of vascularized cranial bone grafts seem to be useful in reconstruction of maxillofacial defects with avascular recipient beds because of their good blood supply. The parietal osteofascial flap has additional advantages including easy rotation of the flap to the defect, particularly a mandibular defect, and versatile use of fascia without bulkiness for reconstruction of soft tissue defects. This flap can be designed as a full- or partial-thickness cranial bone graft with good vascularity. In this paper, our technique for mandibular and maxillary reconstruction using the parietal osteofascial flap is introduced, and the results compared with our temporalis osteomuscular flap technique are reported. |
