Options for Tongue Reconstruction(I)

  • Maintain mobility

üInfrahyhoid myofascial flap üMedial sural artery perforator flap üRadial forearm flap üUlnar forearm flap üAnterolateral thigh flap

Options for Tongue Reconstruction(II)

  • Provide bulk

üRectus abdominis myocutaneous flap üLatissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap üPectoralis major myocutaneous flap üTrapezius island flap üAnterolateral thigh flap

  • Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 126: 1967, 2010

Objective

  • To present the peroneal flap as a

feasible option for tongue reconstruction

Material and Methods (I)

  • From 1996 to 2013, 43 peroneal flaps

for tongue reconstruction

  • Depending on the size and location of

defect:

Ø24(56%) pure cutaneous flaps Ø19(44%) myocutaneous flaps

ü 5 carry soleus m. ü 14 carry flexor hallucis longus m.

Material and Methods (II)

  • Functional evaluations:

üSpeech: 4=normal, 3=intelligible, 2=slurred, 1=tracheostomy required üDiet: 4: normal, 3=soft, 2=liquid, 1=NG tube

  • Cosmetic evaluations:

ü4=excellent, 3=good, 2=fair, 1=poor

  • Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 126: 1967, 2010

Results

  • Flap failure: 3/43 (7%)
  • Postoperative complications: partial

necrosis 1/43(2.3%), fistula formation 1/43(2.3%)

  • Functional outcomes ( 9 p’ts, F/U:31mos)

üSpeech: 3.2±0.67 üDiet: 3.1±0.78

  • Cosmetic outcome:3.3±0.87

Conclusions

  • For a hemiglossectomy defect, a thin

and pliable peroneal flap --> maintain mobility

  • A peroneal flap with muscle 

provide additional bulk to fill the adjacent defect

Significance of the study

  • Peroneal flap is a feasible option for

tongue reconstruction
