This study outlines a reconstruction approach for head and neck deformities, addressing functional and aesthetic deficits caused by trauma, defects, infections, or neoplasms. It details methods for intraoral, mandibular, midfacial, cranial base, cutaneous, and scalp reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Plastic surgery
  • Head and neck surgery

Background:

  • Head and neck deformities result from trauma, congenital defects, infections, or neoplasms.
  • These deformities cause functional and aesthetic deficits specific to the affected anatomic region.
  • Six major categories of head and neck deformities exist: intraoral, mandibular, midfacial, cranial base, cutaneous, and scalp.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a reliable reconstructive approach for six major head and neck deformity categories.
  • To analyze functional and aesthetic problems unique to each anatomic lesion.
  • To select reconstructive options for maximizing patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic approach to reconstruction at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

  • Analysis of functional and aesthetic deficits for each deformity type.
  • Selection of reconstructive strategies tailored to specific anatomic challenges.

    • Main Results:

    • A reliable framework for reconstructing intraoral, mandibular, midfacial, cranial base, cutaneous, and scalp deformities.
    • Improved functional and aesthetic outcomes through tailored reconstructive options.
    • Identification of challenges and limitations in current reconstructive methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented approach offers a reliable method for addressing diverse head and neck deformities.
    • Tailored reconstructive strategies are crucial for optimizing functional and aesthetic results.
    • Further development in reconstructive techniques is warranted to address existing limitations.
