Abstract

Background: Serratus anterior muscle free flap is widely used in numerous indicated reconstructions. Only a few studies have dealt with the use of this flap in tongue reconstruction.

Materials and methods: We present a case series of 7 patients with carcinoma of the tongue who underwent hemiglossectomy followed by immediate reconstruction with serratus anterior muscle free flap between January 2017 and December 2019 at the University Hospital Brno. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficiency of the reconstruction as well as the donor site morbidity.

Results: There was not a single case of flap failure observed and the donor site healed completely in all cases. The functional outcome (tongue mobility, phonation, and deglutition) depended on the severity of the primary oncological disease and health status of the patient.

Conclusion: The serratus anterior muscle free flap represents an alternative option for reconstruction of the tongue.

应用前肌游离Serratus皮瓣重建半舌切除术后的舌。

背景：无前肌瓣广泛应用于多种指征性重建。只有少数研究涉及这种皮瓣在舌头重建中的应用。材料和方法：我们介绍了一个由7名舌癌患者组成的病例系列，他们于2017年1月至2019年12月在布尔诺大学医院接受了半舌切除术，然后立即用前锯肌游离皮瓣重建。本研究的目的是评估重建的安全性和有效性以及供区的发病率。结果：所有病例均未发现一例皮瓣失败，供区完全愈合。功能结果（舌头活动、发声和吞咽）取决于原发肿瘤疾病的严重程度和患者的健康状况。结论：前锯肌游离皮瓣是一种可供选择的舌再造术。
