Sample Head & Neck Reconstruction Questions
A 36-year-old male sustained a post-traumatic scalp defect after road traffic accident. A scalp advancement flap was designed and raised. During intraoperative advancement, the flap was found to be slightly short of reaching the defect. What is the next best step to gain additional flap mobility?
- A.Apply split-thickness skin graft on the defect
- B.Galeal scoring to gain additional advancement
- C.Perform tissue expansion intraoperatively
- D.Design a free flap immediately
A 35-year-old man undergoes planning for free radial forearm flap reconstruction after resection of an oral cavity carcinoma. During flap harvest, the surgeon looks for the best perforators to raise a reliable skin paddle. Where are the most reliable perforators for the radial forearm flap usually located?
- A.2 cm proximal to the radial styloid
- B.10 cm proximal to the radial styloid
- C.Proximal forearm (near elbow crease)
- D.Mid-forearm, between brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis
A 40-year-old man requires reconstruction for a tongue defect after glossectomy. The surgeon plans a radial forearm free flap and marks the skin paddle over the distal forearm. During dissection, the surgeon searches for the most reliable distal perforators to ensure adequate blood supply when designing a very distal skin paddle (closer to the wrist). At what location are these distal perforators most consistently found?
- A.2 cm proximal to the radial styloid
- B.10 cm proximal to the radial styloid
- C.Proximal forearm (near elbow crease)
- D.Mid-forearm, between brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis
