Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application of the preauricular fascial pedicled mandibular flap for wound healing after upper-middle face skin tumor resection.Methods:The patients with upper-middle face skin tumor were selected, who were treated in the Department of Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from December 2018 to October 2020. According to the location and size of the defects, large defects of facial skin and soft tissues were primarily repaired by using the preauricular fascial pedicled mandibular flap.Results:This study included 10 cases of skin tumour, 5 males and 5 females, aged from 55 to 86 years. The mandibular flaps were all developed well and the appearance and function were satisfactory. After 3-22 months of follow-up, no local recurrence and complications occurred, such as difficulty of eyelid closure and deviation of commissure.Conclusions:Preauricular fascial pedicled mandibular flap technique has such advantages as simple operation, safety and reliability. The flap can be obtained with a long pedicle and a large area and it also can achieve a maximum of 180° rotation to repair postoperative tissue defects in upper-middle face of skin cancer resection, leading to good outcome of appearance and functionality.
