Abstract
Our experience with dermis-fat free flaps and conventional reconstructive procedures for 35 patients with Romberg's disease over a 7-year period is presented. The groin flap was used for increasing volume in 33 cases, the scapular flap in 3 cases, and 2 were treated with the latissimus dorsi free flap. To achieve better contour, secondary procedures such as defatting of the flap, pedicled temporal fascial flaps, cartilage and bone grafts, orthognathic surgery, and other conventional aesthetic procedures were performed in 32 patients. Excellent results were achieved in 9 mildly deformed patients, in 12 out of 16 moderately, and in 3 out of 10 severely affected patients. Four moderate and 5 severe cases were classified as good results. Poor results were achieved in 2 severe cases.
