Defect closure in the paranasal region: an enduring challenge

Abstract

The reconstruction of paranasal defects remains a challenge; nevertheless, the growing toolbox of reconstructive instruments facilitates a perfect reconstructive result.

Clinical and pathologic parameters predicting recurrence of facial basal cell carcinoma: a retrospective audit in an advanced care center

“…To further reduce recurrence rates, the introduction of Mohs micrographic surgery techniques or the extension of surgical resection margins with special respect to the basal side and underlying bony as well as cartilaginous structures might be considered . As established and esthetically acceptable reconstruction methods for any defect geometry are available, tumor resection should be driven strictly by tumor extension. Further research will be necessary to elucidate the efficacy of such measures in advanced care centers.…”
