游离股前外侧组织瓣修复全舌或近全舌切除术后组织缺损

目的探讨游离股前外侧组织瓣在全舌或近全舌切除术后组织缺损修复的治疗效果。方法2015年3月-2018年5月,收治15例舌癌(全舌或近全舌切除)患者,肿瘤根治术后应用股前外侧组织瓣同期修复,皮瓣大小为6 cm×10 cm^8 cm×15 cm,对其临床资料进行回顾性分析,术后要求患者定期到门诊复查。结果15例皮瓣均成活,术后发生血管危象1例,经探查及相应处理后完全成活。术后于门诊随访12~48个月,平均30个月,舌部受区皮瓣成活良好,术后6个月患者张口度、咀嚼功能恢复良好,但是吞咽及语音功能欠佳;大腿供区运动功能良好,无麻木、疼痛不适。结论全舌或近全舌切根治术后遗留的组织缺损,以游离股前外侧组织瓣进行修复重建,可以较好的恢复舌的部分功能及外形。

Application of free anterolateral thigh tissue flap in repairation of tissue defects in total or near-total glossectomy

Objective To evaluate the functional outcomes of the flaps repaired with free anterolateral thigh tissue flap in patients who had total or near-total glossectomy.Methods From March, 2015 to May, 2018, 15 patients with tongue cancer were treated by total or near total tongue resection. The free anterolateral thigh tissue flaps were used to repair the defects of tongues after radical tumor resection. The size of 15 flaps were 6 cm×10 cm to 8 cm×15 cm. Patient data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were requested to conduct the postoperative reviews.Results All 15 flaps survived, while 1 occurred vascular crisis which was survived after the exploration and corresponding treatment. As the results of 12 to 48 (average 30) months followed-up by clinic visits, the mouth and chewing function recovered well after 6 months, while the swallowing and pronouncing function were poor. The motion of thigh donor area was good, without numbness, pain and discomfort.Conclusion The defect being left after total or near-total tongue resection is repaired and reconstructed with anterior lateral cutaneous tissue flap, which is able to partially restore the functions and shape of the tongue.
