Objectives: Post-operative monitoring of microvascular free flaps is critical to the early detection and successful salvage of the compromised free flap. This task becomes more difficult in those situations involving…
Objectives: To summarize the immediate postoperative complications encountered after reconstruction of maxillary defects with free flaps. Methods: Appropriate demographic, pathological, preoperative and postoperative data of 284 patients were collected and…
Objective: To compare the application of the radial forearm flap, anterolateral thigh flap and lateral arm flap when reconstructing oral-maxillofacial defects. Methods: 154 consecutive cases of various defects reconstruction with…
Objectives: The scalp provides just a limited amount of excess tissue that directly can be used for reconstruction. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the technique of soft…
Introduction: Reconstructing defects following maxillary resections represents a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon because of the critical role played by the maxillary skeleton in facial function and aesthetics. Actually in…
Introduction: Maxillary reconstruction after ablative surgery is a challenge to the surgeon. Among the current alternatives of reconstruction, the use of a dental obturator to fill the space left by…
Introduction: Facial paralysis is a condition that leads to many functional problems such as salivary incontinence, expressionless face, and speech and chewing difficulties. When the condition appears to be irreversible,…
Objective: To explore the application of the medial sural artery perforator flap to reconstruct the defect following oral and maxillofacial tumor resection. Material and methods: Between April 2010 and April…
Purpose: The objective of this study is to report the results from our clinical experience with patients treated with osseointegrated implants in the craniofacial region and analyze treatment outcomes. Patients…
Introduction: Reconstructing defects following maxillary resections presents a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon because of the critical role played by the maxillary skeleton in facial function and aesthetics. Obturation, local…
Introduction: At present, there are several techniques and materials that have been recommended for the reconstruction of bone defects caused by craniofacial trauma. The ideal material for the reconstruction is…
Different types of surgical procedures onto facial nerve are related to its pathologic disorders as follows: facial nerve decompression within its bony pathway, external and interfascicular neurolysis, neurosuture at intratemporal…
Objective: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an aggressive bacterial infection of subcutaneous tissue that more commonly affects the extremities, perineum, and trunk. NF of the midface region is very rare. A…
Purpose: Intraosseous repair of nerves involves difficulty of access and there is concern that bone healing may interfere with repair outcomes. The present report describes the effect of 3 separate…
Aim of study: The aim of this prospective clinical study was developing a free fat flap with minimal or without donor site morbidity and without aesthetic limitation or even with…
Introduction: Facial skin cancer and its treatment can affect facial aesthetics and function. Although many studies have demonstrated good post-operative outcomes following facial skin cancer resection and repair based upon…
Methods: 10 patients of Temporomanibular joint ankylosis showing retrognathia were included in study. Out of these 7 patients (5 males, 2 females) showed positive polysmnographic results for obstructive sleep apnea…
Introduction: The surgical management of some head and neck pathology affects a patient’s form, fundamental function and eventually the quality of the individual’s daily life. Restoring mandibular continuity following resection…
Edentulousness paired with severe mandibular bone loss continues to be a challenge for implant dentists. Ridge augmentation with autogenous bone requires major surgery. Distraction osteogenesis (DO), by contrast, regenerates the…
Aim: To present the experience with bimaxillary expansion using Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) and Mandibular Midline Distraction (MMD). Methods: A retrospective study using the records of all bimaxillary…
