Abstract

Background

In the surgical treatment of head and neck locally advanced malignancies, microvascular free flaps represent the most valuable solution to reconstruct the tissue defect after resection of the primary neoplasm. In particular, microvascular free flaps allow to restore the functional and aesthetical features of the head and neck compartments. The superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SCIP) flap represents, as an evolution of the groin flap, a valid alternative to the radial fasciocutaneous free (RFFF) flap or the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap.

Methods

This systematic review adhered to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2009 guidelines. A computerized MEDLINE search was performed using the PubMed service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (www.pubmed.org) and Scopus database (www.scopus.com). Two authors screened the articles, then selected and extracted data on malignancies characteristics, reconstructive techniques, outcomes, and complications.

Results

A total of 25 articles were selected and reviewed among the 39 identified through the search string. Six out of the selected 25 articles were case reports, while the remaining 19 articles were retrospective case series. The whole study population was represented by 174 oncologic patients undergoing ablation of a head and neck tumor and reconstruction with a SCIP flap. The site of reconstruction was the oral cavity in 125 (71.0%) patients, being the tongue the most common subsite in 73 (41.5%) patients, the pharynx in 10 (5.7%) cases, the larynx in 3 (1.7%) and head and neck skin in 36 (20.4%) patients. Only two cases of total flap loss were reported. Partial flap loss or shrinkage requiring minor surgical revisions was observed in 11 patients (6.32%). Primary closure of the donor site was achieved in the whole study population, according to the available data.

Conclusions

In head and neck postoncological reconstruction, despite the caliber and the length of the pedicle, SCIP flap offers a pliable and thin skin paddle, allowing single-stage resurfacing, medium to large skin paddle, possibility of composite-fashion harvest and a well-concealed donor site.
