Applied anatomical characteristics of vascularized iliac muscle flap and its clinical application in repairing oral and maxillofacial defects

CONCLUSIONS: DCIA and its main branches have a relatively constant course and distribution in the ilioinguinal region. According to the conditions of different defect areas, different tissue types of chimeric flaps based on DCIA can be prepared to meet the repair requirements. The donor site complications can be controlled, and it is an ideal choice to repair mandibular defects.PMID:38494968
