Abstract:
The free iliac rest flap based on the Deep Circumflex lilac Artery (DCIA) and Vein (DCIV) has proven to be a useful technique with a high rate of success. It provides a large segment of strong bicortical bone that was sufficient to reconstruct up to two thirds of mandible and supplied by blood vessels with large and long enough to allow for consistently successful anastomosis. It also uses a donor site located for enough from the neck to allow two teams perform operation in the same time with minimum of complication.
