However, in this approach, the surgical view is limited because flap elevation in mandibular reconstruction is performed simultaneously with tumor resection in the supine position, even when using positioning pillows. We herein propose an \"anterior approach\" as a new surgical method. We retrospectively investigated free fibular flap surgeries performed using the anterior approach, which consists of three anterior approaches, over a seven-year period. First, to avoid the course of the superficial peroneal nerve, the crural fascia was incised 1-2 cm posterior to the anterior edge of the peroneal muscle. The anterior edge of the peroneus muscle is detached from the anterior intermuscular septum. After performing osteotomies distal and proximal to the fibula, the interosseous membrane was incised from the anterior view. Pulling out the fibula to the anterior space between the anterior intermuscular septum and the peroneal muscle made the surgical field shallow. No postoperative superficial or deep peroneal nerve palsies were found in the 55 patients. Only one tourniquet was used in 31 of the 55 cases (56.4%), with an average of 95 min. Twenty-four patients (43.6%) required a second tourniquet 38 min after an interval. Only one tourniquet was used in 25 of the 30 (83.3%) cases in the last 3 years.
