PRINCIPLES OF RECONSTRUCTION TO THE ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL REGION
DEFECTS OF THE FACIAL BONES • TYPES (5) 1. Congenital 2. Pathologic 3. Trauma related 4. Infectious 5. Acquired
MOST MAXILLOFACIAL DEFECTS Will have both an osseous and soft tissue component
OSSEOUS RECONSTRUCTION • Functions of the mandible: a) Facial contour b) Facial support c) Muscles of mastication d) Tongue/Floor of mouth e) Muscles of facial expression
INTRODUCTION TO THE CANCER RELATED DEFECT • NEEDS: Bone Soft Tissue Augmentation of existing ridges Removal of scar and mucosal encombrances Restoration of facial form
BONE GRAFTS • Healing of bone is unique: new bone arises from tissue regeneration with cellular proliferation (osteoblasts) and collagen synthesis
BONE HEALING CONCEPT Vascularization 2 Phases of Healing Axhausen 1956
PHASES • Phase 1: starts from transplanted cells in the graft that proliferate and form new osteoid. Determines the quantity of surviving bone • Phase 2: consists of the classical resorptive remodeling process- no new quantitive bone is formed
Healing overview Superficial cellular elements survive by nutrient diffusion Hematoma formation Granulation tissue ingrowth Prominent vascular and mesenchymal cellular components ie OSTEOINDUCTION
Healing con’t • Osteoclastic activity allows further vascular invasion. • Osteoinduction occurs:mesenchymal tissue differentiates into tissue capable of osteogenesis-regulated by BMP • Osteogenesis with repair and incor- poration of graft = final phase
ACTIVATION OF BONE REPAIR • Occurs by local and systemic factors Parathyroid hormone: most potent agent to stimulate remodeling activity. Stimulates pluripotential cells (elaborates osteoclasts). Ca++, GH,thyroxin stim. activity. Calcitonin,estrogen, adrenocortical steroids inhibit activity
BONE FORMATION Stimulated by growth factors
Osteogenin BMP-3 BMP-2A BMP-2B BMP-5 BMP-6 Osteogenic protein BMP-7 TGF-B1-5 Vg-1Activin Beta A & B Inhibin alpha Decapentaplegic complex Mullerian inhibiting substance TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR-BETA SUPERFAMILY
TGF-B SUPERFAMILY • Overall Function: osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, wound healing, fx healing, cellular differentiation ie multifunctional growth factor
TYPES OF GRAFTS • Vascularized ie osteomyocutaneous • Nonvascularized cortical cancellous other:bone slurry,particulate bone bone paste(paté) corticocancellous
CLASSIFICATION BY STRUCTURE • Cortical • Cancellous • Corticocancellous • Cortical vs cancellous re: ease of vascular penetration
CLASSIFICATION BY ORIGIN • Autogenous/Autograft • Allograft/Isograft/Homograft:one individual to another of the same species. Lyophilized—reconstitute • Xenograft:tissue transplant from 1 species to another. Bio-Oss/Osteogen • Alloplasts:Inert synthetic materials
ALLOGRAFTS • Are osteoconductive (no viable cells) • Packaged in a lyophilized state and must be reconstituted • exam: freeze dried, demineralized bone • Offers only a hard tissue matrix for the inductive phase of healing (no viable cells for osteogenesis)
SOFT TISSUE BED • Is the key to reconstruction of head and neck patients • Fibroblastic cellularity and vascular density determine the quality of the recipient bed • Concept of ORN and HBO
State of the Art: Bone grafts? • Primary cancer resection with post-op RT • Wait 1 year • Hyperbaric oxygen protocol with allogenic crib and iliac crest PCBM mandibular reconstruction • Wait 4-6 months • Vestibuloplasty and placement of osseointegrated implants • Wait 4-6 months • Prosthetic reconstruction Marx, RE. JOMS, 1995
Who Needs Bone? • Pre- free flap era • 46% success rate with non-vascularized grafts in primary mandible reconstruction • Success improved to 90% with delayed repair when graft placed extra-orally • Multiple surgeries required • Limited number of patients achieved functional reconstruction Lawson, W, et al. Laryngoscope 1982
TIMING OF RECONSTRUCTION • Two choices a)Delayed: wait a period of time post-ablation and then return patient to OR for reconstruction(usu. 6 months) Radiation, scarring, contracture,muscle atrophy, increased hospitalization,poor cosmesis and fibrosis can contribute to a suboptimal result
DELAYED RECONSTRUCTION • Due to masticatory muscle pull, typical distractive forces produce an upward and medial rotation of the bone segments • The primary advantage of delayed reconstruction is to avoid wound contamination by saliva
TIMING OF RECONSTRUCTION • b) immediate: primary reconstruction is best accomplished by free tissue transfer with less scarring, fibrosis, fewer hospitalizations, and decreased complication. Will see clear benefits with respect to cosmesis, oral competence, deglutition/mastication, speech, sense of wholeness and dental rehabilitation
IMMEDIATE RECONSTRUCTION • Immediate single-stage reconstruction is always preferable to delayed reconstruction • Prevents development of muscle contracture
ONCOLOGIC RECONSTRUCTION • 20,000 NEW CASES OF ORAL CAVITY CARCINOMA OCCURS ANNUALLY IN US • Primary mode of treatment is surgical, and 50% of oral cavity cancers are in the advanced stages
MICROVASCULAR FREE TISSUE TRANSFER • Can tailor the donor flap to the specific needs of the ablative defect • Not restricted by arc of rotation • With bone-containing flaps, resorption is minimized • Possibility of neural anastomosis • Only true contraindications is hypercoagulable states
ARTERIAL AND VENOUS ANASTOMOSIS • Arterial connections into external carotid artery system, most commonly the facial artery, and also the superior thyroid artery • Recipient veins include the internal and external jugular veins, facial veins or cephalic vein from arm
MANDIBULAR RECONSTRUCTION • Resection of mandible produces deformity and disability: facial contour/support; mm of mastication/facial expression,tongue/FOM support • Also, airway concerns: site of insertion of suprahyoid musculature which elevates the larynx and prevents aspiration; mand. supports tongue and thus the oral airway
MANDIBULAR RESECTION • Mandible can be resected: subtotal or marginal, continuity defect, anterior/lateral/angle/condyle-ramus unit • Primary free tissue transfer usually by fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap(peroneal vessels) or the iliac flap based on the deep circumflex iliac vessels • RIGID FIXATION MANDATED
Anterior Defect • No reconstruction • “Andy Gump” deformity • Loss of lip support • Loss of oral competence • Loss of function and cosmesis
ANDY GUMP DEFORMITY • Resection of the mandibular symphysis/ anterior mandibular arch • Oral competence suffers from the patient’s inability to manage oral secretions, speak,eat, or swallow • Most important deformity to reconstruct primarily
OTHER MANDIBULAR DEFORMITIES • Posterior-lateral mandible, angle, and the ascending ramus defects can be effectively treated with free tissue transfer or with conventional techniques
EXTIRPATIVE DEFECTS • Mandibulectomy defects • Maxillectomy defects • Glossectomy defects • Defects resulting from excision of oral lining tissues i.e. floor of mouth,pharyngeal wall and cheek
MAXILLARY RECONSTRUCTION • Try to achieve three (3) goals 1. Restoration of facial form-support for the orbital contents, cheek and lip 2. Separate sinus/nasal cavity from oral cavity 3. Dental rehabilitation
TONGUE RECONSTRUCTION • Most difficult of reconstructive challenges • Need to fulfill the requirements of: articulation mastication/swallowing laryngeal protection Must have a flap that is thin, mobile and hopefully can be made sensate.
SPEECH CONCERNS • Anterior tongue restriction: distorts “d” and “t” • Posterior tongue restriction: distorts “g” and “k” • Scar of lower lip distorts “v” and “f” • Components of speech are: respiration, phonation,resonance, articulation and neurologic integration
