A Case of Maxillary Carcinoma Recontruction with a Fibular Osteocutaneous Free Flap

A radical maxillectomy causes a defect of the alveolar bone, gingiva, palate, and orbital floor and causes cosmetical problems and masticatory and phonatory functions. Defect after a radical maxillectomy was reconstructed with skin or dermis graft was introduced, but recently wide resection of the tumor and functional reconstruction with free flap was introduced by several methods. The defect due to radical maxillectomy was reconstructed with scapula, iliac crest, radius. But reconstruction with a fibular osteocutaneous free flap was rarely introduced to defect of radical maxillectomy. The fibular osteocutaneous free flap was firstly introduced by Taylor. The fibular osteocutaneous free flap has several advantages. We experienced the first case of radical maxillectomy and reconstruction with the fibular osteocutaneous free flap, so we reported that case with literatures. The patient has a right maxillary sinus squamous carcinoma (T2N0M0), and performed a radical maxillectomy with right supraomohyoid neck dissection, and reconstruction with fibular osteocutaneous free flap. Donor site morbidity was little, and phonatory and masticatory function were nearly normalized. And cosmetical result was very acceptable.
