A novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction: use of radial forearm free tissue transfer combined with zygomaticus implants.

30 Oct 2009 Pathologic resections involving the maxilla/hemimaxilla offer a unique reconstructive challenge to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeon. Traditionally, reconstruction and replacement of lost tissues have been achieved with a variety of methods ... Read more...

Submental flap for reconstructing tongue defect with V-Y advancement flap for repairing submental defect.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: To assess the reliability of the facial-submental artery island flap for reconstructing tongue defects and the aesthetic benefits of using two V-Y islanded flaps for repairing the resulting submental defect. STUDY DESIGN: Case series with ... Read more...

Distally based saphenous nerve-great saphenous veno-fasciocutaneous compound flap with nutrient vessels: microdissection and clinical application.

29 Jun 2009 Improvements were made by us in several distally based pedicled flaps of the nutrient vessels of the saphenous nerve with lower rotation points. However, these flaps are still insufficient for trauma complicated by bone defects. Accordingly, we ... Read more...
