Intraoral anastomosis of a vascularized iliac-crest flap in maxillofacial reconstruction

Intraoral anastomosis of free flaps was introduced to avoid extraoral scars. In addition, advances in vascularized iliac-crest flap have greatly facilitated jaw reconstruction. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and outcomes of intraoral anastomosis of vascularized iliac-crest flaps used for jaw reconstruction.Methods: From December 2015 to June 2018, 10 (3 men and 7 women) patients aged 12-55 (median, 28) years were treated at the Peking University School and Stomatology Hospital, China.
