Abstract

Despite the popularity of the donor region 'laterodorsal calf' with the fibula, the flexor muscles and the overlying skin for microsurgical bone and soft tissue transfer some limitations and possible pitfalls have to be considered. We report on 93 patients who had 96 reconstructions, 65 with and 31 without soft tissue transfer in 8 years using microvascular fibular grafts for mandibular replacement and oromandibular reconstruction. Six patients died within 4 weeks and eight flaps were lost. Necrosis of the skin paddle occurred in 7 (11%) of 61 cases with uncomplicated bony healing.
