Beyond the Scar: Exploring Functional Outcomes, Donor Site Morbidity and Cosmesis for Radial Forearm Free Flap Reconstruction for Head and Neck Cancer.
[BACKGROUND] Surgical reconstruction for head and neck cancer (HNC) using a radial forearm free flap (RFFF) allows surgeons to autotransplant vascularised tissue to repair soft tissue defects. This study investigated donor-site morbidity, c…

Economic evaluation of microvascular reconstruction of the jaw: A micro-costing analysis and identification of key cost-drivers.
[PURPOSE] Efficient resource allocation in surgery requires thorough economic evaluation that reflects the true costs of a procedure, with micro-costing being a primary method. Existing economic studies on microvascular jaw reconstruction o…

Developing a metric for bone union in mandibular reconstruction using quantitative CT.
[BACKGROUND] Objective quantification of bone union after mandibular reconstruction is important for evaluating reconstructive outcomes, yet current assessments are largely semi-quantitative. [OBJECTIVE] To explore the feasibility of using…

Quality of life outcomes in patients receiving dental implants in vascularised bone flaps for mandibular reconstruction.
Resection, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of the mandible impact function and health related quality of life (HRQOL). In this study, we aimed to understand the impact of delayed versus immediate dental implant placement. A cross-section…

Biomechanical assessment in virtual surgical planning for mandibular reconstruction.
The fibula free flap has been widely used for reconstructing large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. While mandibular reconstruction requires a high degree of precision, the impact of surgical deviations on clinical outcom…

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 facial contour and patient-reported outcomes following zygomatic implant perforated (ZIP) flaps and fibular osseous flaps for maxillary reconstruction.
The zygomatic implant perforated (ZIP) flap is an alternative to the fibular free flap (FFF) for maxillary reconstruction with dental rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to compare facial contour and patient-reported outcomes in match…
-
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…
- Zygomatic Implant Perforated Flap vs Fibula Osseous Flap Maxillary Reconstruction.
-
What is the force required to treat trismus in patients undergoing oral cavity free flap reconstruction?
[BACKGROUND] Trismus therapy is often delayed after jaw reconstruction to avoid hardware failure or non-union. The aim of this study is to document the forces that have been applied to patients undergoing free flap reconstruction of the ora…

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…
- Virtual surgical planning for combined nasal, dental and maxillary reconstruction with the prefabricated fibula flap.
-
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…
-
Health-related quality of life in maxillectomy patients undergoing dentoalveolar rehabilitation.
[OBJECTIVES] Surgical resection of the maxilla impairs aesthetics, speech, swallowing, and mastication. Maxillary reconstruction is increasingly performed with virtual surgical planning (VSP) to enhance functional dental rehabilitation with…
-
Institutional-based and commercial virtual surgical planning in maxillomandibular reconstruction - Comparing the digital plan and postoperative scan.
[BACKGROUND] Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is increasingly used in maxillomandibular osseous free flap reconstruction. Non-commercial ('in-house') VSP may offer the same level of accuracy and other benefits, without the inflated costs and…

Assessment of post-surgical donor-site morbidity in vastus lateralis free flap for head and neck reconstructive surgery: an observational study.
[BACKGROUND] Vastus lateralis (VL) can be used to reconstruct defects of the head and neck. Whilst the advantages are documented, donor-site morbidity is not well described. This study aimed to assess donor-site morbidity after VL flap harv…

Hyaluronic Acid Soft Tissue Filler for the Treatment of The Hypoplastic Chin: An Observational Study.
[BACKGROUND] The hypoplastic chin is associated with facial unattractiveness. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate safety and efficacy of JUVÉDERM Voluma XC Injectable Gel (hyaluronic acid filler, HAF) for treatment of hypoplastic chin. [METHODS] This…
