Abstract

The incidence of skin cancers is increasing parallel to other cancers, with a growing elderly population. Surgery continues to be the gold standard, although many other therapeutic methods are available for the treatment of skin cancers. In surgical treatment, all steps of reconstructive surgery can be employed, and the method to be selected should yield satisfactory cosmeticand functional outcomes. Free flaps are at the very top of the reconstructive steps, due to prolonged operation time and the necessity of employing a specific technique. On the other hand,free flaps are the first line of treatment in certain cases where cosmetic and functional concernsprevail. In elderly patients, however, free flaps are often not preferred due to prolonged operation time. The current case report presents a 96-year-old female patient who was admitted toour clinic due to squamous cell carcinoma and who subsequently underwent reconstructionusing a free radial forearm skin flap. Examples from the literature were highlighted in which proper patient management in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period will produce fewer concerns regarding free flap surgery in the elderly population.

Özet

Günümüzde artan yaşlı popülasyonda diğer kanserlerle birlikte cilt kanseri insidansı da artmıştır. Cilt kanserlerinde birçok tedavi yöntemi bulunmakla birlikte cerrahi tedavi altın standarttır. Cerrahi tedavide seçilecek yöntemler arasında rekonstrüktif basamağın her adımı uygulanabilir ve seçilecek yöntemin estetik ve fonksiyonel sonuçları tatmin edici olmalıdır. Uzun operasyonzamanına ve spesifik bir tekniğe ihtiyaç duyması nedeniyle serbest flepler rekonstrüktif basamağın en tepesinde yer alır. Estetik ve fonksiyonel kaygılar göz önüne alındığında ise bazı olgulardaserbest flepler cerrahi tedavide ilk sırada tercih edilir. İleri yaş hastalarda ise serbest flepler uzunoperasyon süresi gerektirdiği için genellikle tercih edilmez. Bu yazıda, skuamoz hücreli karsinomtanısıyla kliniğimize başvurun 96 yaşındaki bayan hastanın tümör eksizyonu sonrası serbest radial ön kol flebi ile rekonstrüksiyonu sunulmuş ve preoperatif, intraoperatif ve postoperatif uygunhasta yönetimi ile, ileri yaştaki hastalarda da serbest flep cerrahisi üzerindeki kaygıların azalacağıliteratür örnekleri vurgulanmıştır.
