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…
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…
