“…Ankle joint mobility is relatively small, and there are fewer postoperative complications that can negatively affect the quality of life. In the past, the medial limb flap with the posterior tibial artery was commonly used for the repair of foot tissue defects, but its application for the head and neck reconstruction is relatively uncommon (3,4). …”

Tumor resection causes damage in the head and neck which creates problems in swallowing, chewing, articulation, and vision, all of which seriously affect patients’ quality of life. In this work, we evaluated the application of a free medial tibial flap in reconstruction of head and neck defects after tumor resection. We discussed the anatomy, surgical technique, and the advantages and disadvantages of the flap. We found several benefits for the flap, such as, it is especially effective for the defects that require thin-layer epithelium to cover or the separated soft tissue defect; a two-team approach can be used because the donor site is far away from the head and neck; and the flap is easy to integrate because of the subcutaneous fat layer of the free medial tibial flap is thin and the flap is soft. Thus, the medial tibial flap could replace the forearm flap for certain applications.

“…Reconstruction was performed only when no early local recurrence developed. 45 In the late 1950s, the first free flap procedure, which involved the removal of tissue from the donor site and transplantation in another site of the body with anastomosis of the vessels, was performed. 46 , 47 …”

This review summarizes the development of head and neck cancer resection and reconstruction. The developments in the treatment of cancer patients are reflected in their surgical outcomes, in addition to functional and aesthetic improvements. New technologies, such as surgical simulation and planning, minimally invasive surgery, and microsurgery have been added to the field to improve surgical resection of the tumor and reconstruction. The field is still growing to optimize the management of head and neck cancer.

“…En cirugía maxilofacial han sido utilizado numerosos colgajos como el de fíbula, escápula, radial, el "ALT" por nombrar los más utilizados (Steel & Cope, 2015). Seidenberg et al lograron el primer colgajo libre y fue realizado sin magnificación con trasplante yeyunal a la artería tiroidea y vena facial.…”

“…Colgajos Libres, sitios donantes. Entrando los años 90 los colgajos microvascularizados se convirtieron en la principal técnica en la reconstrucción de grandes defectos y el cáncer de cabeza y cuello (Eckardt & Fokas, 2003;Steel & Cope). Distintos sitios donantes han sido descritos durante el desarrollo de la microcirugía en el territorio Maxilofacial, de los más nombrados tenemos el yeyuno, gracilis, fíbula, recto abdominal, latísimo del dorso, escapular, radial, ALT, entre otros.…”

RESUMEN: La reconstrucción de la cabeza y el cuello contempla avances importantes a lo largo de los años. Los colgajos microvasculares se han convertido en la primera opción de tratamiento en grandes defectos del territorio maxilofacial, mientras tanto, la tecnología con el uso de microscopía y luego las imágenes como CT, angiografía por tomografía computarizada, dispositivo ultrasónico, RNM o Doppler contribuyen a lograr una predictibilidad excepcional de estos colgajos microvasculares. Por lo general, la técnica de anastomosis consiste en una sutura de 9-0 en 360°, pero existen autores que han descrito diversos métodos que no son de sutura con un rendimiento aceptable. Existe un buen número de diferentes colgajos microvasculares, cuatro de ellos son los más comunes en la reconstrucción maxilofacial: fíbula, ilíaco, antebrazo radial, escápula. Además el colgajo anterolateral, muy útil en defectos de piel y tejidos blandos. La evolución de los colgajos microvasculares implica los colgajos quiméricos, muy útiles en defectos grandes. El objetivo de este artículo es describir y exponer el desarrollo de la microcirugía y las diversas opciones de colgajos microvasculares en la reconstrucción maxilofacial.
