Abstract:
:The submental artery island flap (SIF) is gaining acceptance as a simple and reliable option in selected oral oncologic reconstructions. The present study aims to assess the usefulness of submental artery flap in oral reconstruction with respect to flap reliability, cosmesis, function, donor site morbidity and oncological safety. Thirty (30) patients who underwent ablative surgery and reconstruction using the submental artery island flap for oral cancer at Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum, India, between October 2004 and December 2006 were prospectively studied for the flap viability, cosmesis, function (speech and swallowing) and locoregional recurrence. The site and stage of the tumour, type of resection, management of the neck and the technique of flap transfer were recorded and the patients were followed up to assess the status of the flap and its donor site and the oncologic outcomes. There were 19 men and 11 women, ages of whom ranged from 30 years to 78 years with a mean+/-SD of 53+/-11 years. With the exception of one patient who had undergone neck dissection as part of a previous surgery, all patients underwent neck dissection or at least a level I clearance along with the wide excision of the primary lesion. The follow up period ranged from 4 to 25 months with a median of 13.5 months. Six patients either recurred locoregionally or had metachronous second primary constituting an over all recurrence rate of 20%. The size of the skin paddle ranged from 3 x 3 cm to 7 x 6 cm, with a mean size of 4.9 x 4 cm. One total and one partial flap loss were observed. One patient had intractable hair growth on the flap even 3 months after surgery. Donor site healing was excellent in all cases and the donor site scar was well hidden. The long term cosmesis and functions were good in all the patients. The submental artery island flap is a simple and reliable option for oral cancer reconstruction in carefully selected cases, with acceptable cosmetic and functional results and reasonable oncological safety.
