[BACKGROUND] The scapular free flap has increasingly gained popularity as an alternative to the fibular free flap in osseous head and neck reconstruction. The authors evaluated its use in maxillomandibular reconstruction and examined surgic…

[BACKGROUND] The scapular free flap is a recognized reconstructive option for total maxillectomies, however, its optimal orientation and position in reconstructions without orbital exenteration is undetermined. The following study aimed to …

[BACKGROUND] There is no consensus on the exact insertion height of the platysma muscle, and the influence of aging on its cranial position remains unexplored. Additionally, clinicians currently rely solely on clinical examination to assess…

The use of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided design and manufacturing to assist in osseous reconstruction has become the standard of care in head and neck reconstruction. The use of the free fibula flap with VSP remains the…

Septic nonunion after vertebral fusion can lead to significant patient disability. The management of septic nonunions usually involves surgical debridement, bone fixation, and antibiotic therapy. Particularly challenging is lumbosacral vert…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin injection is the accepted standard treatment for synkinesis and gustatory hyperlacrimation in patients with facial paralysis. However, poor injection accuracy can result in inconsistent treatment outcomes, varia…

[UNLABELLED] Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) manifested as symptomatic nonunion between primary free flap and native mandible after primary bony reconstruction of the mandible is an entity not included in current conventional ORN staging guideline…

In the last 10 years, there has been an increased focus on the scapula tip free flap for head and neck reconstructions. Its several advantages make it a versatile and reliable reconstructive option for patients with orofacial compound defec…

[UNLABELLED] Free flap reconstruction in the head and neck region is a complex field in which patient comorbidities, radiation therapy, tumor recurrence, and variability of clinical scenarios make some cases particularly challenging and pro…

[BACKGROUND] Perforator flaps yield the best results for the patient with the least morbidity, and they should be considered the gold standard in head and neck reconstruction. Although deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is cons…

[INTRODUCTION] Free vascularized tissue may provide a robust reconstruction after anterior skull base surgery. We report our technique and outcomes of the endoscopic inset of free flaps in anterior skull base reconstructions. [METHODS] Bet…
