Subperiosteal Implants for Auricular Reconstruction in the Setting of Significant Temporal Bone Defects.
[BACKGROUND] While several techniques have been established in the field of auricular reconstruction, these methods are often inadequate in restoring aesthetic function for cases involving significant defects of the temporal bone, particula…

A comparison of preoperative soft tissue contour versus bone accuracy as a predictor of quality of life outcomes in osseous free flap jaw reconstruction using occlusal-based virtual surgical planning.
[OBJECTIVES] Occlusal-based virtual surgical planning (VSP) prioritises the placement of endosseous dental implants, over replicating native bone contour. This may compromise facial aesthetics. This study aimed to compare function and healt…

How age affects health-related-quality-of-life outcomes in maxillomandibular reconstructive surgery.
[INTRODUCTION] Maxillomandibular reconstruction has various functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial effects that can decrease patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this study was to compare HRQOL outcomes in older and…

Effect of operative time on complications associated with free flap reconstruction of the head and neck.
[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate whether prolonged operative time is negatively associated with post-operative complications and length of stay in patients undergoing microvascular free flap reconstruction for complex head and neck defects. [METHOD…

Virtual reality digital surgical planning for jaw reconstruction: a usability study.
[BACKGROUND] Digital surgical planning (DSP) has revolutionized the preparation and execution of the management of complex head and neck pathologies. The addition of virtual reality (VR) allows the surgeon to have a three-dimensional experi…

Clinical application of 3-dimensional tissue volume assessment using CloudCompare.
Adjunctive procedures, including autologous fat grafting and surgical debulking, may be required to optimise facial contours following maxillomandibular reconstruction. A standardised method for the quantitative analysis of volumetric chang…

Swallowing and communication outcomes following primary transoral robotic surgery for advanced or recurrent oropharyngeal cancer: Case series.
: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is most commonly undertaken as a minimally invasive approach for early staged oropharyngeal cancers (OPC), with good expectations for a functional recovery. A small number of patients, however, require TOR…

On interaction between fatigue of reconstruction plate and time-dependent bone remodeling.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] The fibula free flap (FFF) has been extensively used to repair large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The reconstruction plate plays a key role in maintaining stability and load-sharing while th…

Maxillofacial reconstruction with prefabricated prelaminated osseous free flaps.
[BACKGROUND] The prefabricated fibula flap is an advanced method of occlusal-based reconstruction that combines placement of osseointegrated dental implants with prelamination, using a split skin graft on the fibula, weeks prior to the defi…
-
Microvascular reconstruction of head and neck defects in the elderly.
[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck is a common technique utilized across many ages. The purpose of this study was to identify if advanced age or comorbidity was associated with worse post-operative outc…
-
Tracheostomy in free-flap reconstruction of the oral cavity: can it be avoided? A cohort study of 187 patients.
[BACKGROUND] Head and neck surgeons are moving away from routine tracheostomy in free-flap reconstruction. We reviewed prophylactic tracheostomy use in patients undergoing oral cavity or oropharynx free-flap reconstruction to identify patie…
- Aid to safe transfer of the vascular pedicle to the neck using a saline-filled Penrose drain.

Sydney Facial Nerve Clinic: experience of a multidisciplinary team.
[BACKGROUND] The Sydney Facial Nerve Clinic (SFNC) is a multidisciplinary clinic established in 2015, consisting of surgeons (otolaryngologists, head and neck and plastics/reconstructive), physiotherapists and speech pathologists. [METHODS…

Surgical approach to limiting skin contracture following protractor myectomy for essential blepharospasm.
[PURPOSE] To report our experience with protractor myectomy in patients with benign essential blepharospasm who did not respond to serial botulinum toxin injection, and to describe intra- and postoperative techniques that limited skin contr…
