Vascularized iliac crest with internal oblique muscle for immediate reconstruction after maxillectomy

Zygoma implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation after partial maxillectomy using surgical navigation: A clinical report

“…5,6 There are several reconstructive options including prosthetic obturation, 2,3, 7-11 non-vascularized grafts, local flaps, regional flaps and microvascular free tissue transfer. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Although there have been advances in plastic surgery, surgical reconstruction of maxillectomy defects continues to be challenging, unpredictable, and not always possible, either due to local or systemic reasons. 19 Additionally, some patients may prefer to avoid secondary morbidity from reconstructive procedures.…”

Maxillary reconstruction using anterolateral thigh flap and bone grafts

“…2 Several techniques have been described for the reconstruction of total maxillary defects, including the use of maxillary prostheses, 3 pedicled flaps, 4 soft tissue free flaps, 5 and bone-containing free flaps. 6 In the present report, we demonstrate the combined use of nonvascularized bone grafts and anterolateral thigh free flaps for the reconstruction of total maxillary defects with preservation of the orbital contents. The anterolateral thigh flap is reliable, versatile, and easy to harvest.…”

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

“…In all patients, the lower 5 walls of the maxilla were resected, including the palate, while leaving the oral mucosa and sparing the orbital floor (subtotal maxillectomy) (see Figure 1). The remaining defects were classified as class 2a according to the classification of Brown et al 7 Patient records and all available documents and radiographs were reviewed. The data on flap survival and complication rates, such as wound infection, dehiscence, and partial or total loss of the bone transplant, were collected.…”
