Virtual Planning of ALT Flap

NCT05424328 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2024-06-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study evaluates the advantage of using preoperative virtual planning to design the volume and shape of antero-lateral thigh free flap tissue transfer to reconstruct tongue defects resulted from carcinoma resection and see how this would affect tongue form and speech function.

Conditions

  • Tongue SCC

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ALTF (Anterolateral thigh flap) with preoperative virtual planning

In this study group, using preoperative CTs (head \& neck and thigh ) to virtually plan a guide that can be used during the surgery, this guide will determine the design and dimensions of the Alt flap to be harvested and restore the defect left on the tongue due SCC resection and hemi glossectomy.

PROCEDURE

ALTF (Anterolateral thigh flap) with conventional method

ALTF (Anterolateral thigh flap) will be harvested with conventional method which depends on surgeon's own experience in determining the flap design and dimensions needed to reconstruct and restore the defect left on the tongue due SCC resection and hemi glossectomy.
