We aimed to present our surgical techniques and experience using free lateral thoracic (LT) flaps for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Methods: From 2006 to 2010, we reconstructed 28 cases of…
Background and objectives: The vascularized free fibula flap has become the most popular reconstruction method for segmental mandibular defect because of adequate bone graft length and acceptance of dental implants….
The free vascularised fibula flap has become one of the most popular choices in head and neck composite reconstruction. One of the reasons for this is its relatively low morbidity….
Background and objectives: Primary microsurgical reconstruction is currently considered as first choice in the majority of maxillary/mandibular resections. Or objectives are to assess the refinements for the fibula flap and…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate both functionally and histologically the validity of the cyanoacrylate and fibrin glue for nerve anastomosing in rat sciatic nerve….
Introduction: The Medial Femoral Condyle Flap (MFC) is a cortico perisoteal flap used for recalcitrant non-unions and facial reconstruction. Evaluation of MFC modelling will allow more accurate reconstruction in head…
Objectives: Surgical and radiotherapy treatment for cancer of the oral cavity can result in dramatic aesthetic and functional sequelae partially avoidable by reconstructive techniques. Aim of this study is to…
Background and objectives: Microvascular free tissue transfer is the gold standard reconstructive method for midsize skull base defects when local and regional flaps have failed (or are not available) and…
Background and objectives: To reduce donor site morbidity after radial forearm free flap a novel technique of a local full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) is described. Methods: In a prospective study…
Objectives: Microsurgical free flaps are nowadays considered the gold standard for reconstruction of patients undergoing surgical treatment of advanced head and neck cancer. Our aim is to evaluate the safety…
