Abstract

Oromandibular reconstruction following oncological resection is particularly challenging. In this past decade, great improvements have been made, in functional and aesthetic terms, following the introduction of composite free flaps. By means of this reconstructive technique, it is, in fact, possible to restore mandibular continuity, and, consequently, the morphology of the lower third of the face; rehabilitate mastication through osteointegrated implants, and optimise the reconstruction of soft tissue, employing the fascio-cutaneous or muscular portion of these flaps. Between January 1995 and January 2001, 70 oromandibular reconstructions employing osseous free flaps were performed in the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the Ospedale Maggiore in Parma, and in 13 of these the iliac crest free flap was used. Personal experience is described regarding the indications and use of this flap.
