Reconstruction of Oral Cavity Defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconstruction of oral cavity defects must maximize residual function of remaining tissue. The reconstructive surgeon should have the ability to tailor the reconstruction according to the size of the defect and general medical status of the patient. The reconstructive ladder is a useful paradigm to conceptualize different types of reconstruction. Free tissue transfer has allowed reconstruction of massive defects.

Reconstruction of Lateral Mandibular Defects with Soft Tissue Loss: The Role of the Submental Flap
Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects after pathologic resections or traumatic events are difficult cases for reconstruction. Defects involving both hard and soft tissue loss are more challenging, because of problems in soft tissue coverage. The role of the submental flap in this regard is presented. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study from the archived files of Ghaem Hospi...
متن کاملLip Reconstruction after Tumor Ablation
Approximately 25% of all oral cavity carcinomas involve the lips, and the primary management of these lesions is complete surgical resection. Loss of tissue in the lips after resection is treated with a variety of techniques, depending on the extension and location of the defect. Here we review highly accepted techniques of lip reconstruction and some of new trials with significant clinical ...

Introduction: The inferiorly and laterally based platysma myocutaneous flap contains hair in some ethnics; therefore, it is required to change the myocutaneous flap to myofascial flap to prevent the hair growth after its transfer to the oral cavity. Materials and Methods: Five male mongrel dogs were selected for this study. De-epithelialized laterally based platysma fl...
متن کاملSingle perforator based anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of large composite defects of oral cavity.
Composite defects of oral cavity are a reconstructive challenge. Anterolateral thigh flap provides large and pliable tissue for reconstruction of these defects. However, wide variations in the vascular anatomy, variable perforator number and location are reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of single perforator based large anterolateral thigh for reconstruction of com...
