Acellular dermal composite allografts for reconstruction of the radial forearm donor site.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Since its description in the 1970s, the radial forearm free flap has earned a clearly defined role in the armamentarium of reconstructive head and neck surgery. Three decades later, the donor site remains an intrinsic drawback primarily due to its esthetic impact, although functional morbidity is significant in a minority. These points do not outweigh significant advantages but are occasionally reasons for the choice of alternative flaps. Modifications evolved in an effort to improve these undesirable features include primary closure, rotation-advancement, proximal paddle placement, full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) and suprafascial dissection. We describe a novel technique of engineering a composite graft of cadaveric acellular dermal matrix and autologous split-thickness skin graft (STSG) for a better donor-site closure. METHODS:From December 1995 to August 2003, 23 patients underwent radial forearm reconstruction of head and neck defects. Control patients (Group I; n = 5) had donor sites closed by conventional STSG technique (0.014-0.016 inch). In 18 patients (Group II), the donor site was closed with a composite technique (dermal allograft, 0.020-0.030 inch, and an ultrathin STSG, 0.0080 inch). Both groups of patients were retrospectively studied for comparative defects. Contralateral upper extremities also served as controls. All patients underwent a standardized functional examination of the donor and contralateral extremities, as well as an outcome questionnaire. All extremities were photographed for visual comparison by the author. RESULTS:Three of the 5 group I patients were available for follow-up, which averaged 64 months (60-72 months). Thirty-three percent had a decrease in functional parameters and 67% complained of paresthesia. Patient satisfaction was 3.5/5. Six of the 18 patients were excluded from Group II due to insufficient follow-up or inability to follow. Follow-up averaged 8 months (1-24 months). Functional parameters in all patients were comparable to the contralateral extremity, except in 1 patient. In this case, a 0.030-inch allograft was used which never revascularized, inhibiting wrist motion. Other patients exhibited excellent range of motion of the wrist and fingers. This was the only patient in this group that exhibited paresthesia of the donor site. Patient satisfaction was 4.6/5. Esthetic results were extremely gratifying as judged by the author. Esthetic results were better than those observed in Group I. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE:Composite grafting with acellular dermal matrix and STSG provides a comparable (trending to superior) result with traditional STSG for the treatment of radial forearm graft donor sites. Even if functionally equivalent, it is esthetically superior and therefore a technique warranting further investigation.
