[OBJECTIVES] This study compared postoperative complication rates between bridging plate reconstruction with soft tissue free flaps and osseous free flaps for segmental mandibular defects. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] This retrospective study c…

This study aims to provide an overview of patient characteristics, treatment modalities, and associated complications following microvascular free flap reconstructions in maxillofacial surgery, based on data from a large national tertiary c…

[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free tissue transfer is a key technique in reconstructive surgery, enabling functional and aesthetic restoration of complex defects. While initial flap survival relies on the vascular pedicle, some flaps may becom…

[PURPOSE] For the first time, this study explores the transfer precision of computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in mandibular reconstruction with scapula free flaps (SFF). [METHODS] Patients undergoing mandibul…

[PURPOSE] Head and neck free flap (HNFF) surgery is essential in reconstructive surgery, addressing complex defects with tailored approaches. Despite high success rates, complications remain significant, influenced by patient comorbidities,…

[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…

[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…

[PURPOSE] To assess the clinical utility of the 3D 4K exoscope for reconstructive head and neck surgery. [METHODS] This retrospective study analyzed surgical details and complications with the use of the 3D 4K exoscope for microvascular re…

[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…

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…

Microvascular free flap reconstruction is a standard technique in head and neck surgery with high success rates. Nevertheless, complications like early flap loss, locoregional recurrence of head and neck cancer and osteoradionecrosis may re…

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…

[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…

[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…

Bite force measuring devices that are generally suitable for edentulous patients or patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction are missing. This study assesses the validity of a new bite force measuring device (prototype of loadpad, nove…

This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and complication rates of patient-specific 3D-printed mini- and reconstruction plates for free flap fixation in mandibular reconstruction. A retrospective monocentric study was carried out b…

[BACKGROUND] Mechanical and morphological factors have both been described to influence the rate of pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction. By minimizing mechanical confounders, the present study aims to evaluate the impact of bone ori…

Computer-aided microvascular mandible reconstruction is an increasingly common procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this retrospective single-centre study was to evaluate the rate and specifics of hardware removal after f…

[BACKGROUND] This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility, clinical outcomes, and accuracy of patient-specific 3D-printed miniplates for mandible reconstruction with fibula free flaps. [METHODS] A feasibility study was conducted wi…

[OBJECTIVES] Pseudarthrosis after mandibular reconstruction leads to chronic overload of the osteosynthesis and impedes dental rehabilitation. This study evaluates the impact of gap site on osseous union in mandible reconstruction using a n…

Interest in a surgical career is declining among medical students, and many more need to commit themselves to becoming surgeons to cope with this. We have therefore developed a one-day practical lesson in surgical skills to find out whether…
