Iliac crest osteocutaneous flap reconstruction for ameloblastoma of the mandible in a patient with bilateral peronea artery magna: case report

J Craniofac Surg. 2003 Sep;14(5):809-14. doi: 10.1097/00001665-200309000-00041.

Abstract

Success of oromandibular reconstructions is increasingly achieved through fundamental microvascular techniques that incorporate innovative adjunct modalities. We report a complex case of a large anterior mandibular plexiform ameloblastoma reconstructed with an iliac crest free flap in a young woman with bilateral peronea arteria magna. This article serves to highlight the application of several new technologies in an effort to provide a functional and cosmetically acceptable result.
