BACKGROUND: Donor-site management after anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap harvest is a significant yet underaddressed concern in reconstructive surgery for oral cancer. While xenogeneic acellular dermal matrix (Xeno-ADM) is common in soft-tissue repair, its efficacy for fascia lata reconstruction at the ALT donor site remains insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of xeno-ADM in fascia lata repair, focusing on compartment pressure, inflammatory and muscle injury biomarkers, and functional recovery.
METHODS: In this prospective, randomized, single-blind trial, 200 patients undergoing ALT flap reconstruction were allocated to Xeno-ADM repair (n = 100) or primary closure (n = 100). Primary endpoints included compartment pressure, inflammatory markers in drainage fluid, serum muscle injury biomarkers, and functional outcomes.
RESULTS: The xeno-ADM group showed significantly lower compartment pressures throughout postoperative days (POD) 1-5. Inflammatory markers in drainage fluid (CRP on POD 3 and 5) and serum muscle injury biomarkers (creatine kinase on POD 1 and 5) were significantly lower in xeno-ADM group. Functional outcomes were superior in the Xeno-ADM group, with faster gait recovery, lower pain scores at POD 7, and better lower-limb function at the 1- and 6-month follow-ups. Drainage duration did not differ between groups. Stratified analyses revealed that the benefits of xeno-ADM were more pronounced in patients with defect width >3 cm or a body mass index ≥24 kg/m2.
CONCLUSION: Xeno-ADM provides a safe and effective approach for fascia lata repair, reducing biomechanical and inflammatory burdens while enhancing functional recovery. These findings support a transition from simple structural closure toward functional donor-site reconstruction.
