Ninety-eight patients with segmental mandible defect were reconstructed with vascularized free fibular flap, in which 63 were males and 35 females, the age ranging from 16 to 76 years, and…
Introduction: Assessing treatment outcome is an integral part of audit process in surgical practise. This goes along way in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of adopted protocols and help to…
Introduction: The advances of microsurgical techniques have made the use of free tissue transfer in the pediatric population a viable reconstructive option. Objective: The purpose of this abstract is to…
Purpose: After insertion of mandible reconstruction plates, plate exposure and fracture are a clinical problem in medium and long term observation. The new three-dimensionally preformed Synthes Matrix Mandible reconstruction plate…
Aims of study: This study reports the longitudinal experience of one microsurgery unit performing free flap transfers for head and neck reconstruction on the consecutive patients in the past 10…
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…
