In our surgical approach, we have used periosteum, galea, or pericranium flaps for reconstruction of bone and tissue defects in the cervicofacial region, with excellent results. To treat mandibular osteoradionecrosis, we harvested periosteum flaps from the radius, demonstrating efficacy in bone regeneration. For minor defects, such as those of the nose, we used flaps from the medial femoral condyle, despite the complexity of harvesting. The cranial region, particularly the temporo-parietal area, offered excellent vascularization, allowing the use of revascularized flaps for reconstruction of the oral mucosa after removal of carcinomas. These flaps have also been effective in the treatment of pharyngeal fistulas, proving to be a functionally reliable solution for oral cavity and cervicofacial defects.
