OBJECTIVES: We evaluated complications of free flap reconstruction following oncological head and neck surgery in elderly patients who smoked heavily.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included eight patients (2 females, 6 males; mean age 68.5 years; range 65 to 74 years) over 65 years of age, who smoked heavily (at least 1 pack/day). All cases but one with mandibular ameloblastoma had intraoral squamous cell carcinoma. Two patients underwent reconstruction with free radial forearm osteoseptocutaneous flap following bilateral maxillary resection, and six patients with free fibular osteoseptocutaneous flap following mandibular resection. Postoperative complications, in particular those associated with the donor and recipient sites were evaluated.
RESULTS: No partial or total flap loss was observed. Wound healing problems were seen in three patients (37%), which were at the donor site in two patients, and at the recipient site in one patient. Psychogenic disorders were observed in two patients (25%). No other complications were encountered.
CONCLUSION: Aside from some recipient- and donor-site-related healing problems, heavy smoking and advanced age cannot be regarded as contraindications for free flap reconstruction.
