Introduction : Following parotidectomy patients develop progressive significant facial defect. Such defects have traditionally been corrected by sternocleidomastoid, temperoparietal fascial, SMAS flaps and fascia lata flaps. These flaps are not…
Temporalis Muscle flap was reported to be first used in 1898 by Golovine in the reconstruction of exenterated orbit. Since, it has been used in a variety of application for…
Facial rehabilitation is one of the greatest challenges in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Generally benign tumours resections are responsible for a major bone and soft tissue loss, originating extensive defects,…
Introduction : Defects caused by grade II and III osteoradionecrosis (ORN) present a difficult reconstructive problem. Often tissues are of poor quality and recipient vessels for free flap anastomosis can…
Background and objectives : The pedicled submandibular gland flap is an arterialized local flap in the head and neck region with an axial blood supply provided by the facial artery….
Costochondral grafts have gained increasing popularity among oral surgeons in reconstructing the mandibular condyle in cases, such as ameloblastoma. Seven patients with mandible ameloblastoma were treated with resection and immediate…
Background : Upper maxillary reconstruction of oncological defects remains a challenge for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Objective : Assess the results after using different reconstructive techniques. Methods : A…
Several lesions occurring at the mandible require as the treatment of choice to minimize recurrence, an extensive resection with security margin. The rehabilitation of those patients promotes a great challenge…
Background : The platysma myocutaneous pedicled flap is not commonly used in head and neck reconstruction, but should be considered for reconstruction of small and medium-sized defects in the oral…
Background and objectives : Conventional maxillofacial reconstruction often leads to suboptimal results due to inaccurate planning or surgical difficulties in adjusting a free flap into a three-dimensional defect. Conversely, flap…
