Abstract
Introduction: A systematic review of the literature on the donor site morbidity in patients undergoing Maxillofacial reconstruction was performed. The two widely used flaps namely free fibula flap (FFF) and DCIA flap were compared to answer the following questions: (1) Is donor site morbidity significantly different in patients undergoing maxillofacial reconstruction with FFF and DCIA flap? (2) Should donor site morbidity be considered as the criteria for choosing the flap for reconstruction.
Materials and methods: The search strategy was based on PRISMA guidelines. Various electronic databases were searched. On reviewing the seven articles included in our systematic review, we found out oral squamous cell carcinoma to be the most common pathology leading to the defects in head and neck region requiring reconstruction with free flaps.
Results: A total of 531 participants were investigated who underwent maxillofacial reconstruction using FFF and DCIA flap. The study included both the genders. The participants were assessed for short- and long-term donor site morbidity after the microvascular surgery. Mean age is 45-60 years. Three out of seven studies showed DCIA to have lesser complications at donor site than fibula group. While other two studies proved FFF to be better than DCIA. One study proved low donor site morbidity with regard to both the flap.
Conclusion: The free fibula being the flap of choice in head and neck reconstruction has a comparable donor site morbidity to DCIA. The advantages of the iliac artery flap include natural curvature, abundant vertical and horizontal bone height for bone contouring and osseointegration, hidden scar, low incidence of wound healing problems and minimal effect on function and quality of life at long-term follow-up. Thus, it makes it the free flap of choice that one cannot avoid. This systematic review was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42021268949).
