Abstract

New techniques in microvascular flap transfer result in new indications for reconstructive treatment of facial defects. In this study, the indications and success rate of an intraoral anastomosing technique in facial reconstruction were examined. Seventy patients with intraoral defects or central midface defects were reconstructed with the use of microvascular flaps. Anastomoses were performed by an intraoral anastomosing technique. Indications for the use of this technique, types of flaps, complications and problems were evaluated. Except for 5 reconstructions, all were performed to correct bone defect coverage of the jaws. All anatomising procedures worked without severe intraoperative problems. There was one total flap loss caused by venous congestion, and two partial losses not associated with the anastomosing technique. There were no other complications or problems. The main indications for the use of intraoral anastomosing techniques are alveolar ridge reconstruction in patients with defects not caused by a malignant tumour and central midface reconstruction in the case of short flap pedicle. The success rate of the intraoral anastomosing technique is similar to that of extraoral techniques reported in the literature.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
