dc.description.abstractBackgroundWe examined the effect of free tissue neurotization on speech and swallowing outcomes for patients undergoing reconstruction of hemiglossectomy defects with a radial forearm free flap (RFFF).MethodsA retrospective study was performed in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma undergoing a hemiglossectomy and reconstruction with a RFFF. Functional outcomes including nutritional mode, range of liquids and solids, and speech understandability were analyzed 1-year post-treatment.ResultsEighty-four patients were included in this analysis, 41 of whom had neurotized flaps (49%). No significant differences in demographic or clinical variables were seen between the neurotized and non-neurotized groups. On multivariate analysis controlling for BMI, flap area, and N-classification, patients with neurotized flaps were significantly more likely to have normal range of liquids and solids and less likely to have a G-tube.ConclusionsNeurotization of RFFF reconstructing hemiglossectomy defects results in decreased G-tube dependence and improved range of liquids and solids.
