Fig. 5.32 (a–c) The “scissors” in “rock-paper-scissors”
concept for orientation of the DCIA free ap—(a) in a
lateral view, where the two ngers mimic the anterosuperior and anteroinferior spines of the iliac crest; (b) in a
The convexity of the iliac crest is
matched with the dental arch, midface,
and lower face reconstruction.
The pedicle is short (5 cm) and small
(1–1.5mm in diameter), but designing
the bone ap more posteriorly allows
for greater pedicle length (up to 10cm).
The donor site needs to be repaired with
a non-resorbable mesh.
– A good indication of this ap is for recon-
struction of the mandible on a benign
tumor, with complete dental rehabilitation,
especially in a young male patient (to avoid
abdominal wall weakness and possible lateral hernia in a young female with future
pregnancy plans), or for cases requiring
superior view, showing the concavity of the hand mimicking the iliac crest, and the thumb mimicking the pedicle;
(c) position of the ipsilateral hand to match the scapula in
a standing position
high bone volume, typically a large maxillary defect with infraorbital rim reconstruction and without the need for large soft
tissue reconstruction (depending on the
team experience).
– Morbidity management of the donor site:
The skin paddle is classically not as reliable as in other osseous free aps, unless
a perforator from the DCIA ascending
branch is encountered.
The internal oblique muscle is usually
taken during the harvest, to be wrapped
around the bone, providing soft tissue
coverage and allowing spontaneous
mucoepithelialization in the oral or
nasal cavity.

5 Surgical Optimization

Non-resorbable mesh is always needed to
reconstruct the internal oblique muscle
harvest.
Resuspension of the inguinal ligament is
also mandatory in case where the anterosuperior iliac spine was used to reconstruct the mandible.
– Management of pedicle length for maxil-
lary reconstruction:
Facial pedicle should be prepared high
above the inferior border of the mandible,
taking great care to visualize and protect
the marginal mandibular branch of the
facial nerve.
In case of short pedicle which cannot
reach the neck, there are at least four solutions to overcome this problem:
○ Perform intraoral anastomosis.
○ Perform extraoral anastomosis at the
level of the cheek (at the cost of a
small facial scar).
○ Perform extraoral anastomosis at the
level of the supercial temporal
vessels.
○ Perform an arterial and venous vein
graft (last resource).
– Maximum length of bone in mandibular
reconstruction:
As previously said, a design 4–5 cm
behind the anterosuperior iliac spine can
maximize the length of the pedicle, being
cognizant that the further back you go,
the thinnest the iliac crest cortex will be,
and that the DCIA will also be more
supercial.
The maximum bony reconstruction can
be a hemimandible, from a condyle to a
symphysis, but is usually used for smaller
defect (<10cm of bony reconstruction).
One wedge osteotomy can be done safely
to reconstruct an angle without the need
for anterosuperior iliac spine harvest, or
multiple linear monocortical osteotomies
(as for the scapula lateral border osseous
free ap) for better curvature of the bone.
– Can support dental implants during the
same procedure, but usually performed in a
second surgery with regular dental implants
for maxillary reconstruction. In immediate
mandibular reconstruction, dental implants
are placed in cancellous bone (loose bone)
not allowing immediate prosthesis like the
bula free ap for example.
• Medial Condyle Free Flap: It is an unusual
free ap used in the head and neck region.
However, two major indications seem to benet from this donor site:
– Cleft reconstruction, typically in double-
cleft cases, in which avascularized graft
may be particularly challenging to be performed in the setting of chronic stulas and
large defect. This free ap can bring a
2×2cm of vascularized bone.
– ORN defect, to reconstruct a bone defect,
or for the robust vascularized periosteum,
which can be harvested from this donor
site. In this setting, a skin paddle from the
medial thigh should be used.
– This free ap has a pedicle of 5–7cm, but
small vessels (<1 mm in diameter).
Therefore, intraoral anastomosis to the facial
pedicle should be used for maxillary
reconstruction.

• Unusual Free Flap Harvest Planning from the
Head and Neck Area
• Flaps harvested from head and neck allow for
reconstruction of like tissues with like tissues.
These specic free aps are designed from the
supercial temporal system:
– Supercial temporalis fascia (STF) free
ap: an extremely thin fascia to reconstruct
the nasal cavity (such as the septum), the
orbital cavity, or the contralateral ear in
case the ipsilateral supercial temporal
pedicle is not available (due to burn/trauma/
previous ipsilateral failure) (Fig.5.33)
– Temporal artery posterior auricular perfo-
rator skin (TAPAS) free ap: to reconstruct
a maximum of 5×7 cm glabrous skin or
mucosal defect, with thin and color match
aspect. Can also be used for a septal recon-
struction and nose reconstruction (with
vascularized cartilage) (Fig.5.34)
– Anterior helix free ap: skin and cartilage
to reconstruct an alar base defect of the
nose (Figs.5.35, 5.36, and 5.37)
• Composition of new aps When the solution
is Not straight forward:
– Train or bridge free aps (second ap con-
nected into the distal pedicle of the rst
one):
Usually, RFFF is used as a bridge connected to any other free ap. This may be
needed to be able to reach the defect and/or
bring the specic tissue needed (e.g., RFFF
and helix free ap for complex nose and
midface reconstruction).
– Prelamination with or without expansion:
Example of a jaw-in-a-day procedure
with skin graft (Figs.5.38 and 5.39)
Example of a PIE ap, for facial burn,
where the skin of the neck is expanded
over a supercial temporalis fascia ap
before its transfer
– Delayed phenomenon:
Example of a Juri ap for hairy scalp
reconstruction, where incisions of the
tip of the ap are made 3weeks before
the surgery to improve its distal vascular
reliability, or the classic example of the
older tubular ap

Double-Team Approach
TDAP and LD fasciocutaneous skin paddles
rather than from the circumex system in scapula
In free ap procedures, donor sites are usually
accessible for a double-team approach. The most
challenging area would be where the donor site is
from the proximal upper extremity such as for a
lateral arm free ap or from the proximal trunk
such as a scapula free ap.
free ap.
Acknowledging and predicting high risk of intraand postoperative complications by having
planned strategies to avoid or how to deal with
them can decrease their rate and improve the
patient’s reconstructive journey in head and neck
reconstruction.
In such settings, the reconstructive team may
be challenged to harvest the free ap, while the
head and neck team performs an ipsilateral neck
dissection. It is the same problem in neurosurgical/skull base surgery when the position of the
head may be xed by the neurosurgeon (especially for trapezius muscle in posterior skull base
surgery). Such a situation is unfortunately classic,
and the double-team approach is still possible
thanks to good communication and using only

rate now at about 95% [1], with higher success
rates reported up to 99% in the literature [2].
Despite the low rate of complications reported in
the literature and well-documented success rates,
even the most experienced of surgeons often face
the potential of complications, either in the preoperative phase, in the OR, or after surgery.
These complications can result in the need for
additional procedures and can result in partial or
complete loss of the free ap, necessitating surgeons to perform salvage surgery. These complications can result in increased morbidity, length
of hospital stay, treatment cost, and overall compromised functional and esthetic results.
Preoperative Phase
When considering the management of free ap
complications in the preoperative period, it is
important in our experience that the surgeon consider four distinct points: (1) recognition that complications can and do happen to the best surgeons,
(2) anticipation of possible sources of complications specic to each patient, (3) actively take
steps to prevent these complications from occurring or to minimize the risk, and (4) institute a plan
