摘要：
Microvascular free flap transfer currently represents one of the most popular methods for mandibular reconstruction. With the various free flap options now available, there is a general consensus that no single kind of osseous or osteocutaneous flap can resolve the entire spectrum of mandibular defects. A suitable flap, therefore, should be selected according to the specific type of bone and soft tissue defect. We have developed an algorithm for mandibular reconstruction, in which the bony defect is termed as either "lateral" or "anterior" and the soft-tissue defect is classified as "none," "skin or mucosal," or "through-and-through." For proper flap selection, the bony defect condition should be considered first, followed by the soft-tissue defect condition. When the bony defect is "lateral" and the soft tissue is not defective, the ilium is the best choice. When the bony defect is "lateral" and a small "skin or mucosal" soft-tissue defect is present, the fibula represents the optimal choice. When the bony defect is "lateral" and an extensive "skin or mucosal" or "through-and-through" soft-tissue defect exists, the scapula should be selected. When the bony defect is "anterior," the fibula should always be selected. However, when an "anterior" bone defect also displays an "extensive" or "through-and-through" soft-tissue defect, the fibula should be used with other soft-tissue flaps. Flaps such as a forearm flap, anterior thigh flap, or rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap are suitable, depending on the size of the soft-tissue defect. © The Japan Society of Clinical Oncology 2005.
