Abstract

The fibula and the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) based iliac crest free flaps are commonly used by the Head and Neck surgeons to reconstruct the bony defects following resection of benign and malignant tumours of the mandible and the maxilla. The choice of the reconstructive option depends on the patient, defect and the donor site factors as well as the expertise of the surgeon and the resources available. Despite their popularity, it is surprising that there is little published data in the literature comparing these two types of free flaps in Head and Neck reconstruction.
