Use of Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery System Free Flaps in Skull Base Reconstruction

Abstract: We present a 10-year retrospective study at a tertiary center designed to evaluate the advantages, complications, and comparative results using lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) system free flaps for cranial base reconstruction. In this study, a cranial base defect refers to exposed intracranial contents to the skin, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx, or oral cavity. These defects resulted from resections of primary or recurrent neoplasms or from secondary problems after cranial base surgery. W… Show more

“…16 RF has been largely replaced by the ALT in our current practice. 19 ALT flaps in SB reconstruction provide versatility in flap design and availability of adequate tissues to fill dead space, and it offers vascularized fascia to augment dural repairs. It also provides a long pedicle and allows simultaneous flap harvest with low donor-site morbidity.…”

“…En general, las regiones donantes se cerraron primariamente. Sin embargo, en ocasiones la región antebraquial se cerró bien con un injerto de piel o por medio de un colgajo cubital (16), como se ha descrito previamente 2 .…”

“…El CLAL tiene también una alta tasa de éxitos y apenas deja secuelas en el lugar donante 10,13 . De acuerdo con la tendencia actual 14 , el CLAL es el CLM de elección en la mayoría de las reconstrucciones de cabeza y cuello y es el que, en la actualidad, utilizamos más frecuentemente 15,16 . Para situaciones especiales otros CLM, como los del sistema subescapular, el recto anterior del abdomen, el colgajo de peroné, de cresta iliaca o de yeyuno, pueden ser utilizados igualmente con buenos resultados.…”
