Resumen

El colgajo lateral de brazo es un colgajo fasciocutáneo de gran versatilidad pero infrautilizado en la reconstrucción de cabeza y cuello. Entre sus cualidades podemos incluir que presenta un grosor intermedio entre el del colgajo radial y el del pectoral mayor, ideal para la reconstrucción de defectos orofaríngeos, un pedículo vascular constante, un tejido blando fácilmente adaptable y una baja morbilidad del área donante. La utilización de este colgajo no requiere además el sacrificio de una estructura vascular significativa para el brazo. Hemos elegido esta técnica para reconstruir cuatro casos con defectos quirúrgicos en cavidad oral y orofaringe. El resultado anatómico y funcional ha sido satisfactorio y el índice de complicaciones comparable al de otras técnicas microvasculares. Creemos que el colgajo lateral de brazo es una técnica reconstructiva útil en áreas específicas de cabeza y cuello.

Abstract

The lateral arm flap, is a fasciocutaneous flap with great versatility, but underused in head and neck reconstruction. Its qualities include a intermediate thickness between the radial forearm flap and the pectoralis major, ideal to reconstruct oropharyngeal defect, a consistent vascular pedicle, a pliable soft tissue and a low donor site morbidity. Use of this flap does not require the sacrificing of a major feeding vessel to the arm. We have chosen this technique to reconstruct four cases with surgical defects in oral cavity and oropharynx. The anatomic and functional results have been satisfactory and the complications rate is comparable to other microvascular techniques. We think that the lateral arm free flap is a useful reconstructive technique in specific areas of head and neck.
