Transfusion rates in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients undergoing free flap reconstruction in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
[INTRODUCTION] Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) frequently requires extensive resections and microvascular free flap reconstruction, procedures associated with relevant perioperative blood loss. This study aimed to quantify transfusion r…

Postoperative radiotherapy and external carotid artery diameter: is there a link to osseous free flap osteoradionecrosis risk?
[OBJECTIVES] Postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) is a cornerstone in the multimodal treatment of head and neck malignancies but may lead to osteoradionecrosis (ORN) inside healthy osseous free flaps. This study analyzes the role of external c…

AI-Based Quantitative and Objective Analysis of Aesthetic Results in Genioplasty.
[BACKGROUND] Genioplasty and chin-augmentation are well-established procedures aimed at enhancing lower facial aesthetics. Traditionally, aesthetic outcomes have been assessed subjectively through expert opinions and patient-reported measur…

A critical reflection of radiotherapy on osseous free flaps in mandibular segmental resection and immediate reconstruction in locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: A cohort study.
[BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE] With standard radiotherapy protocols after R0 resection of advanced local oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and primary reconstruction of segmental defects, a high radiation dose is applied to healthy tissue in au…
-
Osteoradionecrosis in osseous free flaps after maxillofacial reconstruction: a single-center experience.
[OBJECTIVE] In the multimodal treatment of advanced head and neck malignancies, primary free flap reconstruction in a one stage procedure with tumor resection is frequently combined with adjuvant radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is known to exhib…

Microvascular free flaps in head and neck reconstruction: an analysis of outcomes in elderly patients.
[OBJECTIVES] Maxillofacial reconstruction using microvascular free flaps is a well-established procedure to restore facial defects across various patients. Elderly patients face increased perioperative risks due to higher prevalence of como…

Towards optimized donor site closure of radial forearm flaps: A cohort study of two techniques.
The radial forearm flap (RFF) is widely used for microvascular reconstruction in the head and neck region, but donor site complications, such as flexor tendon exposure, can impact patient recovery. This study retrospectively analyzed all pa…
-
First-in-human application of dynamic fluoroscopic analysis to quantify intersegmental motion in mandibular free flap reconstruction.
Osseous non-union following free flap reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects can prolong patients' dental rehabilitation. Various plating systems have been developed to optimize biomechanical fixation, but healing may be retarded. Q…
-
Reconstructing complexity: Indications for simultaneous and chimeric free flaps in extensive maxillofacial defects.
Reconstructing complex head and neck defects using multiple simultaneous or chimeric microvascular free flaps is rare, with no established guidelines on indications. This study evaluates the indications, flap combinations, outcomes, and com…
-
Donor Site Morbidity in Fibula Free Flaps: A Technique-Dependent Comparative Analysis of Donor Site Wound Healing.
[BACKGROUND] The fibula free flap (FFF) is a mainstay in maxillofacial reconstruction, yet donor site morbidity remains a significant clinical concern. Closure technique is a key factor influencing complication rates, but comparative data r…
-
Comparative study of CAD/CAM reconstruction and miniplates for patient-specific fixation in LCL-type mandibular reconstruction.
[OBJECTIVE] Miniplates offer superior clinical handling and facilitate postoperative removal after mandibular reconstruction but unfavorable load distribution under high stress has been shown. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcom…
