    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to report the clinical experience of repairing mandibular defects with a deep circumflex iliac artery perforator flap with iliac crest (DCIAPF) and to analyse the relevant anatomical data to guide clinical application. Forty patients with mandibular defects, who underwent reconstruction with a DCIAPF after oncological resection were included in the study. During the operation, anatomical features relevant to the structure of the DCIAPF were measured, including the position of the perforator, mobility of the skin paddle, length of the vascular pedicle, and adipose tissue thickness of the skin paddle. Three types of DCIAPF perforator were identified: type I, with a dominant perforator, which was observed in 17 patients (42.5%); type II, with a dominant perforator that divides into multiple tiny branches, in 20 patients (50%); type III, with no visible dominant perforator, in three patients (7.5%). In summary, the DCIAPF provides adequate bone tissue and satisfactory soft tissue.
