Özet

The aim of this article is to evaluate the early and late morbidities of the donorand recipient-site in patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction using either vascularized fibular flap (VFF) or vascularized iliac flap (VIF). Electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central and Embase, were explored for literature published until October 2020. A total of twenty-four articles reporting complications following mandibular reconstruction surgery with follow-up periods ranging from six to 63 months were selected based on the exclusion criteria. For each research, the JBI Critical Assessment Tool and the ROBINS-I Tool were used to analyze the methodological quality and the risk of bias. A single-arm metaanalysis was performed to have a synthesized analysis of the donor- and recipient-site early and late morbidities. Results showed that the early morbidities in VFF group ranged from 3% to 12%, and the late morbidities in VFF group ranged from 5% to 67%. In VIF group, the early morbidities ranged from 3% to 16%, and the donor-site late morbidities ranged from 6% to 43%. Complications with the top three morbidities in the VFF group were: chronic sensory disturbances at the donor-site (67%), malocclusion (22%) and chronic lower limb weakness (20%); and in the VIF group were: chronic sensory disturbances at the donor-site (43%), chronic pain at the donor-site (26%), chronic gait disturbance (20%). Further controlled clinical trials are needed to assess the long-term outcome of VFF or VIF grafting. (C) 2021 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.
