Variations of the origin of Superior Thyroid Artery and its relationship with the external branch of Superior laryngeal nerve.
PloS one, 2018Co-Authors: Meselech Ambaw DessieAbstract:Introduction The Superior Thyroid Artery, the main atrial supply of neck region, is branched from the external carotid Artery as a first branch, but it may also arise from the common carotid Artery and its bifurcation. The external branch of Superior laryngeal nerve runs parallel to it and later crossing the Artery either above or below the upper pole of the Thyroid gland. Objective This study aimed at evaluating the variations of the origin of Superior Thyroid Artery and its relationship with the external branch of the Superior laryngeal nerve. Methods A descriptive study was conducted on 43 embalmed cadavers. The anterior triangle of the neck region was dissected bilaterally. The presence or absence of STA and its origin, branching pattern, relationship with the external branch of the Superior laryngeal nerve, level of origin in relation to the lamina of the Thyroid cartilage and level of carotid bifurcation were observed and recorded. Result The Superior Thyroid Artery arises from the external carotid Artery in 44.2%, common carotid bifurcation in 27.9% and common carotid Artery in 26.7% of cadavers. In one of the cadaver, the Superior Thyroid Artery arises from lingual Artery. The origin of Superior Thyroid Artery was significantly associated with its branching pattern and level of common carotid Artery bifurcation. The mean distance from the upper pole of the Thyroid gland to the level where an external branch of Superior laryngeal nerve turns medially from Superior Thyroid Artery was found to be 1.04cm. Conclusion The wide range of variations of the Superior Thyroid Artery on its origin and relationship with adjacent structures is a common phenomenon. The clinicians should be aware of those variations.

a novel application of Superior Thyroid Artery perforator flaps for medium sized intraoral reconstructions retrospective analysis of 12 cases
Head and Neck-journal for The Sciences and Specialties of The Head and Neck, 2021Co-Authors: Bing Guo, Yi Shen, Zhiwei Zheng, Liang Wang, Dan Zhu, Thorsen W Haugen, Jian SunAbstract:BACKGROUND To describe the indications, technique, and preliminary experience in the application of the Superior Thyroid Artery perforator flap (STAPF) for the reconstruction of various medium-sized intraoral defects. METHODS From September 2018 to September 2019, 12 consecutive cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma underwent reconstruction with a STAPF. Clinical details were collected, and postoperative function was analyzed. RESULTS The venous drainage of the STAPF is variable with drainage into the internal jugular vein in six cases, into both the internal and external jugular veins in four cases, and into the external jugular vein in two cases. Ten cases were harvested as pedicled flaps, while two cases required a venous anastomosis due to inadequate length of the venous pedicle. Ten flaps survived completely, whereas two flaps had partial necrosis that ultimately resolved with secondary healing. CONCLUSIONS STAPF is a reliable method for the reconstruction of medium-sized intraoral defects.

a comparative study on using Superior Thyroid Artery perforator flaps versus traditional sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flaps for reconstructions after oral cancer ablation new tricks for old dogs
Oral Oncology, 2021Co-Authors: Surui Sheng, Yi Shen, Liang Wang, Thorsen W Haugen, Weijin Gao, Jian SunAbstract:Abstract Objectives To introduce new Superior Thyroid Artery perforator flaps (STAPF), and to compare the clinical outcomes with sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flaps (SCMMF) for their intraoral applications. Materials and methods Between January 2013 and December 2020, forty-three oral cancer patients who received post-oncologic reconstructions with one of these two regional flaps were retrospectively collected. Their techniques and outcomes were compared. All the STAPFs were preprepared with radiologic evaluations. Results Despite the common arterial origins, the compositions and harvesting procedures of STAPF and SCMMF were different. Though SCMMFs (n = 23) were designed in rotational styles, most STAPFs (n = 20) were septocutaneous perforator flaps, with 2 chimeric ones. In addition, the sizes of STAPFs were generally larger than those of SCMMFs (p = 0.006). Success rate for STAPFs was much higher, with only three partial cutaneous necroses. Radiotherapy delay was more frequently found in those reconstructed with SCMMFs (P = 0.046), mostly due to fistula formations. Besides, incomplete level IIB dissections were also reported in 9 (20.9%) patients in SCMMF group. In our study, the overall survival was affected by both flap conditions (p = 0.014, 1.333–12.881) and postoperative surgical complications (except fistula) (P = 0.005, 2.240–84.134). Functionally speaking, post-reconstructive speech and neck mobility (p Conclusions With accumulated experiences on the use of locoregional flaps in the neck, STAPF, when well-prepared, can provide Superior reconstructive outcomes for various intraoral defects. As a comparison with SCMMF in the same middle region, STAPF is a viable option with higher success rates and oncological safety for oral cancer patients.
