Abstract:
Objective:The difference in quality of life between patients with unilateral maxillary defect repaired by free fibular flap and anterior lateral femoral perforator flap was compared with questionnaire analysis.
Methods:In March 2014 to June 2015, 40 cases of tumor resection caused unilateral maxillary defects were included in this study, which were treated with free fibula flap or femoral anterolateral perforator flap in Peking University Stomatological Hospital. Two groups of patients were followed up one year after surgery, and the University of Washington Quality of Life Scale score was obtained.
Results:The score of fibular flap group was 89.37± 15.34 and score of anterior lateral femoral perforator flap group was 88.04±15.78(t=0.17, P=0.36).
Conclusions:There was no significant difference between free fibular flap and anterior lateral femoral perforator flap in improving postoperative quality of life.
