PurposeTo report the outcomes of 47 patients with temporal bone osteoradionecrosis treated primarily with surgical resection in order to analyze whether flap type and hyperbaric oxygen use affect wound breakdown.Materials and methodsBetween January 1998 and January 2016, 47 patients were treated for temporal bone osteoradionecrosis with surgery. Some patients were also treated with hyperbaric oxygen. Resection of grossly necrotic temporal bone was followed by immediate reconstruction with local, regional, or free flaps. Minimum follow-up was 6months. If patients had breakdown of their initial reconstructions, secondary reconstruction was performed with either a regional or free flap. During the post-operative period, wound breakdown, flap complications, and patient survival were noted.Results30 patients developed ORN from primary radiotherapy while 17 had post-operative radiation. It was found that wound breakdown was significantly associated with type of flap reconstruction (p=0.02) with local flap reconstruction portending a poorer prognosis. Hyperbaric oxygen was not associated with decreased wound breakdown (p=0.5).ConclusionsSurgical treatment can be an effective treatment for temporal bone osteoradionecrosis, without hyperbaric oxygen providing any additional benefit. Reconstruction with regional or free flaps may be a more reliable method to resurface defects compared to local flaps.
