BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of free tissue transfer for treatment of @entity1442 ( @entity7190 ) in @entity135 @entity1 . METHODS: We reviewed 29 @entity1 who were treated for advanced mandibular @entity7190 by radical resection and reconstruction with free flaps at our institution. All @entity1 had either failed to respond to conservative treatment, including hyperbaric @entity26 therapy and debridement or had @entity174 due to @entity7190 . RESULTS: Twenty-four vascularized bone (17 fibula, five iliac, and two scapula), four rectus abdominis myocutaneous, and one radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flaps were used. The complications occurred in 6 of 29 @entity1 (21%). A total of four flaps (14%) were lost. The mean follow-up was 2 years 9 months. All @entity1 had complete resolution of @entity7190 symptoms. No evidence of @entity7190 recurrence was observed in any @entity1 . CONCLUSION: For advanced @entity7190 of the mandible, radical resection followed by reconstruction using free flap provides a reliable means of obtaining good wound healing with acceptable aesthetic and functional results.

Management of XXXX with free flap reconstruction.
