Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To demonstrate the reconstruction of maxillary Ⅱ defect using free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap through modified lateral lip-submandibular approach. Methods: Between May 2012 and December 2016, twelve patients suffering from subtotal maxillary defects, who underwent maxillary reconstruction using free anterolateral thigh flap through modified lateral lip-submandibular approach, were recruited in this study. Results: Healing courses were uneventful in twelve patients. The patients had good speech function without facial paralysis. They were satisfied with face appearance except of one patient, who encountered the necrosis of the flap. Conclusion: Reconstruction of maxillary Ⅱ defect using free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap is a feasible and acceptable technique.

Key words: Anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap, Maxillary Ⅱ defect , Modified lateral lip-submandibular approach
