Reverse facial artery-submental artery mandibular osteomuscular flap for the reconstruction of maxillary defects following the removal of benign tumors.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Functional and aesthetic restoration in maxillary reconstruction remains a challenge. Although many free flap procedures have become popular in maxillary reconstruction, these microsurgical methods have certain limitations and risks. ... Read more...

Midface reconstruction with various flaps based on the angular artery.

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: Although several methods can be used to perform midface reconstruction, difficulties exist in selecting the appropriate method because of anatomic and functional complexities, donor site morbidities, and poor esthetic results. The purpose ... Read more...

The radix nasi island flap: a versatile musculocutaneous flap for defects of the eyelids, nose, and malar region.

27 Feb 2009 A versatile musculocutan flap from the radix nasi region, the radix nasi island flap, is described. The flap has an axial blood supply derived from the dorsal nasal branch of the ophthalmic artery which is anastomosed to the terminal branch of the ... Read more...
