  • Title: Application of Free Iliac Bone Flap Based on Superficial Circumflex Iliac Perforators in Mandibular Reconstruction.
    Author: Sakata Y, Nishioka T, Asamura S.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2022 May 01; 33(3):e253-e255. PubMed ID: 34374676.
    Abstract:
    We introduce the application of mandibular reconstruction with the superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA)-based iliac bone flap. Until now, iliac bone flaps based on the SCIA have been used in relatively small bony and plane defects, such as in the orbital floor, maxilla, distal phalanx, and calcaneus. This flap has minimal donor-site morbidity compared with the conventional deep circumflex iliac artery flap, and it can be harvested simultaneously with tumor resection in most reconstructions, including those in the head and neck. A great advantage of the SCIA-based iliac bone flap is the thin and reliable large skin paddle that can be used for intraoral and lip defects. Although there are remaining problems to overcome, such as the blood circulation to the bone, this flap may be an option in mandibular reconstruction where there are large soft tissue defects, or where there is complicated peripheral arteriosclerosis or arterial abnormality.
