Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Head and neck malignancy are among one of the leading cause of moratlity and morbidity and increasing day by day and. We did a retrospective observational study to identify the demography, modes of reconstruction in department of general surgery, GRMC, Gwalior during the period of six months from September 2017 to march 2018 Results: Out of 20 cases operated during this period, all were males (100%). Most common decade of presentation was 40-60 years of age. The commonest site of cancer was buccal mucosa. Mode of reconstruction used was regional pedicled flaps including Deltopectoral cutaneous flap , Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous flap, Forehead flap by a single surgeon. 20 Delto pectoral flap (DP), 20 PMMC flaps, 2 forehead flap were performed. Functional and aesthetic outcome was good and all patients were satisfied with the results. 2 PMMC flap failed and was debrided . One DP showed distal necrosis that was managed conservatively. To conclude DP & PMMC are a major workhorse flaps for reconstruction with good acceptance among patients. Both the flaps are easy and rapid in elevation with a short learning curve with no special training required. We recommend these reconstruction methods for all centres which are not equipped with microsurgical skills and intensive post operative trained care.
