Microvascular Free Flap Reconstructive Options in Patients With Partial and Total Maxillectomy Defects

Zygoma implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation after partial maxillectomy using surgical navigation: A clinical report

“…5,6 There are several reconstructive options including prosthetic obturation, 2,3, 7-11 non-vascularized grafts, local flaps, regional flaps and microvascular free tissue transfer. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Although there have been advances in plastic surgery, surgical reconstruction of maxillectomy defects continues to be challenging, unpredictable, and not always possible, either due to local or systemic reasons. 19 Additionally, some patients may prefer to avoid secondary morbidity from reconstructive procedures.…”

A national survey of oral and maxillofacial surgeons' attitudes towards the treatment and dental rehabilitation of oral cancer patients

“…This large variation in techniques could refl ect the different extent of maxillary resections, with certain techniques being only suitable for smaller defects. 1 The use of implants in the reconstructive phase of treatment was undertaken by over 90% of the respondents, in comparison to the previous study where there were 43%. The increase in implant usage for rehabilitation is probably due to the increased availability and training in implant provision for maxillofacial surgery and restorative dentistry trainees and the increased involvement of restorative dentists in the MDT.…”

“…The extent of the defect is dependent on the size, location and behaviour of the tumour. 1 Post-resection management of the defect can be either primary surgical closure or prosthetic rehabilitation with an obturator. The decision in choosing one of these two treatment modalities is multiAims To investigate the attitudes of maxillofacial surgeons in the treatment and dental rehabilitation of oral cancer patients in the UK.…”

To Study the Effect of Orbital Sling on Post Operative Vision in Cases of Maxillary Carcinoma Undergoing Total Maxillectomy

“…Split ribs, iliac crest grafts, or even vascularized calvarial bone flaps, [5] radial forearm osteocutaneous flaps [6,7] or coronoid-temporalis pedicled rotation flaps have been used for reconstruction of the orbital floor.…”
