BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of significant soft tissue defects in the head and neck region after resection of extensive plexiform neurofibromas, as well as preservation and restoration of cosmetic and functional aspects, presents a considerable challenge.
AIMS: The purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of eTMF in repairing substantial defects after the complete resection of NF1 PN.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients diagnosed with substantial neurofibromatosis (NP) type 1 (NF1), according to the revised criteria, underwent complete resection and remodeling of the facial aesthetic unit. An extended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap (eTIMF) was used for the defect reconstruction. Perioperative complications were evaluated using the Clavien-Dindo classification. ECOG PS was assessed. Postoperative follow-up at 6 months and completion of UW-QOL. The questionnaire included swallowing, chewing, speech, and quality of life scores. Two patients had pathogenic missense variants: c.5609G>A (p.Arg1870Gln) in exon 38 of NF1 in the first case, and c.4600C>T (p.Arg1534*) in exon 35 in the second case.
RESULTS: Two eTMFs were harvested successfully. Five facial esthetic units were remodeled, and 4 units were remodeled. Two extensive tumors were nearly entirely removed. No severe complications were noted. The ECOG PS improved from grade 3 in the first week postsurgery to grade 0 by the eighth week. The UW-QOL results indicated that swallowing, chewing, and speaking functions returned to their preoperative levels, with a 40% improvement in quality of life, reaching 60% and 80%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: eTMF to repair substantial defects following total resection of NF1 PN and facial esthetic unit remodeling enhances appearance, function, and psychosocial outcomes. This technique is safe, efficient, resource-conserving, and simple to implement.
