  • Title: [Initial results of free bone transposition of the iliac crest in pelvi-mandibulectomy].
    Author: Zanaret M, Bardot J, Thomassin JM, Dessi P, Magalon G, Cannoni M, Pech A.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1988; 105(1):59-67. PubMed ID: 3358607.
    Abstract:
    Mandibular reconstruction in 6 patients was by free flap from iliac crest in pelvi-mandibulectomies. The different technics proposed for mandibular reconstruction are described with emphasis on the specificity of repair surgery in cervicofacial oncology. In this precise indication stress is placed on the limitations of conventional graft and endoprosthesis procedures and the need to transfer a vascularized bone fragment. Among the technics for transfer of vascularized bone, preference is accorded to the composite flap from iliac crest as against the osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap, and details for removal of the former are given. The osteo-musculo-cutaneous flap from iliac crest appears to be the procedure of choice for reconstruction of bone in all cases where mandibular reconstruction is necessary after loss of continuity.
