Abstract
To verify the feasibility of the SF-MPF for oral reconstruction, the anatomic, sonographic and histologic features of the SF-MPF were investigated and the outcome in a series of patients was evaluated.The sonographic and histologic results showed a supra-fascial arterio-venous vascular blood supply to the sub-fascial design of the MPF. The clinical course of 12 consecutive patients who underwent oral reconstruction using the SF-MPF along with ipsi- or lateral neck dissection for treatment of oral cancer showed sufficient pedicle length and reliable blood supply.The SF-MPF is a reliable and safe pedicled myocutaneous flap. Therefore, it should be considered being an additional option when a pedicled flap has to be selected.
