Background and objectives: New developments in 3D computerized planning now allow for the inclusion of precise dental implant placement in the fibula as well as pre-operatively CAD–CAM produced reconstruction plates….
The fibula flap is an established ‘workhorse’ for mandibular and maxillary defects. We present results of an audit of 63 consecutive cases of the fibula free flap for reconstruction in…
Background and objectives: Microvascular free flap transfer has a crucial role in head and neck reconstructive surgery. This is a complex region due to the complexity of the anatomy and…
Background and objectives: There are many reports of masticatory, swallowing and speech disorders after oral cancer treatments, but there are a few of taste disorders. The aim of this study…
Background: This retrospective study aims to report an algorithm to assist surgeons in selecting different modes of the double barrel vascularized fibula graft for mandibular reconstruction. Methods: Forty-five patients who…
Background: This paper describes our special considerations in virtual surgical planning for maxillary reconstruction with vascularized fibular osteomyocutaneous flap and our revised surgical design for maxillary reconstruction. Methods: Twenty-six patients…
Background and objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its treatment impair speech intelligibility. It was the aim of this study to objectively analyse the speech intelligibility of patients before…
Background: Mandibular reconstruction has changed significantly over the years and continues to evolve with the introduction of newer technologies and techniques. The purpose of this study was to determine the…
Introduction: The main objectives in mandibular reconstruction search to recover shape, function and aesthetics. To achieve these objectives free flaps are performed. Currently fibula and iliac crest free flap are…
Introduction/aims: In this prospective study we present our clinical experience of the accuracy in predictions regarding the location of greater auricular nerve using topical anatomic landmarks. Materials and methods: A…
