Superficial Temporal Artery and Vein as Alternative Recipient Vessels for Intraoral Reconstruction With Free Flaps to Avoid the Cervical Approach With the Resulting Need for Double Flap Transfer in Previously Treated Necks. Front Oncol 2022; 12:879086. [PMID: 35875163 PMCID: PMC9300821 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.879086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Microvascular reconstruction remains challenging in previously operated and irradiated patients, especially when double flaps seem to be the only solution due to osteoradionecrosis. An alternative reconstructive option could be microvascular anastomosis to the temporal vessels to avoid the obligatory cervical incision. Methods and Materials All consecutive cases between January 2013 and 2020 that underwent either mandibular resection and reconstruction with a free fibula flap (FFF) and another soft tissue flap (group I) or pure intraoral resection and reconstruction with an FFF or radial forearm flap (RFF) with temporal microvascular anastomosis (group II) were included. Patients’ general information, indication and extent of surgery, time of ischemia, time of total surgery, and duration of hospital stay as well as incidence of complications were retrospectively recorded and analyzed. Results Seventeen (group I) and 11 (group II) cases were included. In group I, FFF was combined with RFF (n = 9), anterolateral thigh flap (ALT, n = 7), or latissimus dorsi flap (n = 1). Group II consisted of six FFFs and five RFFs. Operation time and hospitalization duration were significantly shorter in group II (p < 0.001 and p = 0.025), whereas ischemic time of FFF was significantly shorter in group I (p = 0.002). All patients in group I required a tracheostomy, while only four cases in group II did (p = 0.004). The complication rate regarding hematoma removal, revision of anastomosis, flap loss, delirium, sepsis, pleural effusion, pneumonia, and pulmonary artery embolism showed no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions The superficial temporal vessels served as versatile recipient vessels for intraoral mandibular and soft tissue reconstruction and led to reduced operation time, hospitalization duration, and indication for a primary tracheostomy. Thus, this approach may help to avoid cervical incision for reconstruction in irradiated patients.

Retrospective analysis of complications in 190 mandibular resections and simultaneous reconstructions with free fibula flap, iliac crest flap or reconstruction plate: a comparative single centre study. Clin Oral Investig 2020; 25:2905-2914.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of complications following mandibular reconstruction and to analyse possible contributing factors. Materials and methods Clinical data and computed tomography scans of all patients who needed a mandibular reconstruction with a reconstruction plate, free fibula flap (FFF) or iliac crest (DCIA) flap between August 2010 and August 2015 were retrospectively analysed. Results One hundred and ninety patients were enrolled, encompassing 77 reconstructions with reconstruction plate, 89 reconstructions with FFF and 24 reconstructions with DCIA flaps. Cutaneous perforation was most frequently detected in the plate subgroup within the early interval and overall (each p = 0.004). Low body mass index (BMI) and total radiation dosage were the most relevant risk factors for the development of analysed complications. Conclusions Microvascular bone flaps have overall less skin perforation than reconstruction plates. BMI and expected total radiation dosage have to be respected in choice of reconstructive technique. Clinical relevance A treatment algorithm for mandibular reconstructions on the basis of our results is presented.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance against conventional antibiotics is increasing. This introduces challenges, for example, in the treatment of infected surgical wounds. Host defence peptides (HDP), which are endogenous peptide antibiotics, show broad-spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness. They protect the organism against pathological microorganisms. Synthetic HDP might supplement or even become alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Knowledge of their quantities under physiological and pathophysiological conditions is therefore required. The influence of gender on HDP expression is unknown. This study evaluates whether gender influences HDP expression in infected or healthy epithelium. Expression levels of HDP human beta-defensin (hBD)-1, -2 and -3 and psoriasin (S100A7) were analysed, by using real-time polymerase chain reaction, in samples of epithelium from infected surgical wounds (n = 20) and healthy epithelium (n = 14) from the neck in a basic medical research study (analytic observational design). The results demonstrated a significantly elevated expression of hBD-2, hBD-3 and psoriasin (P = 0.001 each) in infected epithelium compared with healthy epithelium. No difference in HDP expression levels was evident between samples from female and male patients, either within infected samples or within healthy epithelium samples. Thus, gender does not affect the cutaneous expression of the investigated HDP. This is fundamental knowledge for the study and potential use of HDP derivates as alternative antibiotic substances.

Abstract
Background Essential molecular pathways such as the MAPK pathway, NO system, or the influence of PIK3CA as an oncogene are known to regulate fundamental signalling networks. However, few knowledge about their role in the occurrence of wound healing disorders (WHD) following radiation therapy (RT) exists. This study aims to evaluate the expression profiles of specific molecular pathway marker genes. Methods Expression profiles of the genes encoding MAPK, NOS1, NOS3, and PIK3CA were analyzed, by RT-PCR, in specimens from patients with and without a history of RT to the head and neck. Clinical data on the occurrence of cervical WHDs were analyzed. Results Expression analysis of patients with postoperative WHDs revealed a significant increase in MAPK expression compared to the control group without occurrence of postoperative WHDs. PIK3CA showed a significantly increased expression in patients with a history of RT. Expression analysis of all other investigated genes did not reveal significant differences. Conclusions This current study is able to show the influence of RT on different molecular pathways. This underlines the crucial role of specific molecular networks, responsible for the occurrence of long-term radiation toxicity such as WHDs. Additional studies should be carried out to identify possible starting points for therapeutic interventions.
