description | To find out the utility of the scalp flap based on the posterior branch of the superficial temporal artery in patients with head and neck mucormycosis and malignancy. This was a multi-institutional observational study conducted at a tertiary cancer centre in North East India and a super-speciality hospital in Maharashtra from January 2021 to June 2021. Patients with malignancy and mucormycosis were only considered. In our study, we have seven patients (n = 7), two of them had mucormycosis and 5 had squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region. Out of the 5 cases of the head and neck malignancy, two cases were recurrent ones, another two cases where primary flap failed and in the last case, the patient was unfit for free tissue transfer due to cardiac issues. The mean age in the series was 50.42 years and the average duration of raising the flap was 22.86 min. Average hospital stays for head and neck cancer patients are 4.6 days and for mucormycosis patients, it is 22.5 days. No flap related complications were noted during the series. Scalp flap based on the posterior branch of the superficial temporal artery is a useful option in recurrent malignancy cases, in primary cases as a salvage option and in patients where long duration surgery is not possible due to poor general condition like in critical mucormycosis. Post-operative hair growth at the flap site and alopecia at the donor scalp are concerns and therefore, careful patient selection is a must. |
