Functional and cosmetic defects in the maxillofacial region are caused by various ailments these addressed according to their need. Simplicity of procedure, intact facial function esthetic outcome with least possible donor site morbidity minimum requirements a good reconstruction. Oro-mandibular reconstruction, although challenge for head neck reconstructive surgeon, is now reliable highly successful excellent long-term functional aesthetic outcomes use autogenous bone grafts. Reconstruction...
Computer-assisted surgery plays an increasingly important role in mandibular reconstruction, ensuring the best possible masticatory function and aesthetic outcome. Twenty patients were randomly assigned to computer-assisted or conventional reconstruction with vascularized iliac crest bone graft a prospective study design. Virtual surgical planning was based on preoperative CT-data using specific software. A rapid prototyping guide transferred virtual plan operation site. During transplant...
The aim of orbital wall reconstruction is to reestablish anatomically exact volumes avoid long-term complications. Navigation could facilitate complex reconstructions. Quality the (n = 94) was measured based on (A) volume changes and (B) 3D shape deviations compared unaffected side. Volume analysis included segmentation cavity in pre- post-operative data set (VoXim®, IVS Solutions, Germany), performed by vector-based tools (Comparison®, 3Dshape, Germany). Orbital side ranged from 26.6 ml ±...
Lymphomas of the orbit and orbital adnexae are rare tumors, comprising only 1% all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The majority lymphomas extranodal marginal-zone B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type. Because nonspecific clinical signs symptoms, some diagnostic delay may occur. purpose study was to evaluate approach in analyze their treatment outcome. In period from 2005 2012, a group 135 patients with tumors orbit, we identified 11 diagnosed This patient cohort reviewed retrospectively....
Abstract Background The introduction of computer‐assisted surgery was a milestone in functional reconstructions facial skeletal defects. Patients and methods We compared five conventional with fibular grafts the course pilot study. A rapid prototyping guide translated plan into intraoperative utilizable models. intraoperatively measured time needed for shaping graft to recipient site ischaemic time. Furthermore, size donor defect required transplant length evaluated. Results Shaping...
The prognosis for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma remains poor despite advances in multimodal treatment concepts. Early diagnosis and is the key to improved patient survival. A device (VELscope) that uses autofluorescence technology, allowing direct fluorescence visualization of cavity, might be a useful tool cancer detection or as an adjunct standard clinical examination. total 289 premalignant lesions were randomly divided into two groups examination precancerous lesions. In...
The zygoma plays an important role in the facial contour for both cosmetic and functional reasons; therefore zygomatic bone injuries should be properly diagnosed adequately treated. Comparison of various surgical approaches their complications can only done objectively using outcome measurements which turn require protocol management long-term follow up. preference open reduction internal fixation fractures at three points has continued to grow response observations inadequate results from...
Surgical treatment and complications in patients with zygomatic bone fractures can lead to a significant degree of tissue trauma resulting common postoperative symptoms types pain, facial swelling functional impairment. Beneficial effects local cold on swelling, edema, inflammation, hemorrhage, as well the reduction metabolism, bleeding hematomas, have been described. The aim this study was compare cooling therapy applied through use compresses water-circulating face mask manufactured by...
Smoking, alcohol abuse, and hypertension are - among others, potential risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. These generate oxidative stress cause stress-induced DNA damage, resulting in cellular senescence senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP feed-forward response exacerbate inflammation tissue remodeling, atherosclerotic plaque formation rupture.Colchicine inhibited ROS generation mitigated damage. It dampened endothelial cell improved the expression of repair...
Over the past years, computer-assisted surgery has gained more importance in craniomaxillofacial surgery, especially primary and secondary treatment of head neck malignancies. The basis for oncologic region requires detailed planning using computed tomography, cone-beam or magnetic resonance imaging combination with computer-assisted, infrared-based navigation system. These techniques allow a preplanned image-guided path to tumor taking biopsies, resection, reconstruction. aim this work was...
Abstract Objectives Reconstruction of large mandiblular defects following ablative oncologic surgery could be done by using vascularized bone transfer or, more often, primarily with simultaneous or delayed grafting, load bearing reconstruction plates. Bending these plates is typically directed along the outer contour original mandible. Simultaneously in a second operation non-vascularized fixed to plate. However, prosthodontic-driven backward planning ease bony mandible terms dental...
Abstract Objectives The aim of the current study was to evaluate potential differences in accuracy mandibular reconstruction and long-term stability, with respect different reconstructive procedures. Methods In total, 42 patients who had undergone primary segmental resection immediate alloplastic reconstruction, either manually pre-bent or patient-specific plates (PSMRP), were included this study. Mandibular dimensions, terms six clinically relevant distances (capitulum [most lateral...
