What is the Fate of the Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad Flap When Used During Primary Palatoplasty?

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Pedicled buccal fat pad flaps have more recently been applied to primary cleft palate reconstruction, and yet the integrity of the flap and the long-term impact on the palate has not yet been studied. This case study uses magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the composition of the soft palate 5 years after the interpositional placement of bilateral pedicled buccal fat pad flaps during primary palatoplasty. Anatomical measures are used to quantify the flap and surrounding velopharynx using magnetic resonance imaging and three-dimensional computer technology, indicating that this surgical technique may have a lasting impact for children with cleft palate.

Project description:Pedicled temporoparietal fascial flaps (TPFF), which are flexible, thin, and highly vascularized, have been tried for the moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) treatment. To reduce postoperative complications and improve prognosis, we performed surgical modification and followed up to observe the efficacy. From February 2018 and June 2022, the clinical data of 31 adult MMA patients who underwent the modified TPFF combined revascularization were collected. The clinical outcomes and complications of the patients were recorded until the cut-off date of follow-up. The primary endpoints were the magnetic resonance perfusion (MRP), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores, and Matsushima Grade; the secondary endpoints were the clinical symptom outcome and Postoperative complications. Descriptive statistics and rank sum test to assess the therapeutic effect of the modified TPFF combined revascularization for adult MMA treatment. The clinical symptoms of MMA were alleviated in 26 patients and disappeared in five. In all patients, MRP showed improvement in cerebral perfusion on the operated side, and no deterioration or new cerebral infarction occurred during follow-up. Postoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed that the anastomotic site was patent, and the MMA collateral was decreased in all patients. Only 1 case (3%) of Matsushima grade C showed poor collateral compensation. The admission mRS score (1.54±0.66) of the ischemic MMA was significantly reduced compared with ≥6 months postoperatively (0.54±0.72, P<0.01). The admission mRS score (0.57±0.53) of the hemorrhagic MMA was reduced compared with ≥6 months postoperatively (0, P<0.05). Postoperative complications included epileptic seizures in 2 cases, a cerebral hyper-perfusion syndrome in 2 cases, intracranial rebleeding in 2 cases, skin necrosis in 1 case, and skin maceration in 1 case. Modified TPFF combined revascularization might be a feasible and safe surgical technique for MMA, but it is still necessary to increase the sample size and extend the follow-up time to evaluate its efficacy. Ischemic MMA may have a more significant prognostic benefit than hemorrhagic MMA by this surgery.
