游离股前外侧肌皮瓣在舌癌术后缺损修复与舌再造中的应用

目的 探讨游离股前外侧肌皮瓣在舌癌术后缺损修复与舌再造中的应用.方法 2006年6月至2009年4月应用游离股前外侧肌皮瓣,对14例舌癌患者舌颌颈联合根治术后同期行舌口底缺损修复与舌再造,其中舌缘癌9例,舌腹癌3例,口底癌累及舌2例.肌皮瓣面积最大7 cm×9 cm,最小5 cm×7 cm.结果 14例肌皮瓣全部存活,供、受区伤口均一期愈合,无下肢运动感觉功能障碍.术后2周肌皮瓣略显臃肿,1个月后臃肿消退.随访12～26个月,再造舌形态良好,吞咽语言功能满意,肿瘤局部无复发,其中1例(T4N1M0)术后14个月死于远处转移.结论 股前外侧肌皮瓣组织量丰富,携带肌瓣可充填舌口底肌肉切除后缺损,再造舌外形及功能良好,供区隐蔽且对功能影响小,是舌癌术后舌、口底缺损修复与舌再造的理想选择.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the application of free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of tongue and mouth floor defect after radical resection of tongue carcinoma. Methods From June 2006 to April 2009, 14 cases with tongue carcinoma underwent radical resection, leaving tongue and mouth floor defects which were reconstructed by anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flaps at the same stage. These 14 cases included tongue carcinoma at lingual margin( n = 9 ), at ventral tongue( n = 3 ) and at mouth floor( n = 2). The flap size ranged from 7 cm × 9 cm to 5 cm× 7 cm. Results All the 14 flaps survived completely with primary healing. There was no functional morbidity in the lower extremities. The patients were followed up for 12-26 months with satisfied esthetic and functional results in reconstructed tongue. Only one case (T4N1M0 )died of metastasis carcinoma 14 months after operation. No local recurrence happened. Conclusions The anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap has abundant tissue volume to reconstruct the tongue and mouth floor defect, while leaving less morbidity at donor site. Both satisfied esthetic and functional results can be achieved.
