[Microsurgical tissue transfer for the reconstruction of hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome)].
OBJECTIVE
To reconstruct the soft tissue defect of the hemifacial with free anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps or scapular dermal-adiposal flap.


METHODS
The free anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps based on the perforators of lateral circumflex femoral artery or scapular dermal-adiposal flap based on the circumflex scapular artery has been designed and reconstructed hemifacial atrophy with the donor artery and vein anastomosed to the facial artery and vein.


RESULTS
Anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps were performed in 7 patients. Scapular dermal-adiposal flap was applied in 1 patient. All the flaps survived well and aesthetic appearance of reconstructed face achieved good result.


CONCLUSIONS
The microsurgical tissue transfer, especially the free anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flap is a good and reliable choice for hemifacial reconstruction.
