Background: Reconstruction by free tissue transfer and microvascular anastomosis can provide a reliable repair for tissue defects in head and neck surgeries. During this study, we evaluated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of reconstructive surgery by the use of free flaps for defects resulting from head and neck cancers. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 29 patients ha...
متن کاملUpdate on major reconstruction of the head and neck.
Reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in the head and neck is best accomplished using similar composite tissue. In the head and neck, this tissue is usually available in the form of adjacent tissue transfer. The local adjacent tissue resembles the resected tissue in color and composition. In some circumstances, the local tissue is not suitable for transfer. This may be due to previous surgery, ...
متن کاملEpithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a large majority of cancers arising from the head and neck, especially the oral cavity. Despite advances in therapy, the five-year survival rate remains low due to the number of patients presenting advanced stages of the disease. The role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumorigenesis in HNSCC remains unexplored. The current ...
