Abstract:
Satisfactory reconstruction of complex maxillo-mandibular defect in a single stage has been a surgical challenge. This is particularly because it necessitates a flap which will reconstruct both the maxilla and mandible along with any associated soft tissue defect, mucosa or skin without adding to functional and cosmetic problems for patient and technical problems for the surgeon. Here we describe an innovative design for simultaneous reconstruction of maxilla, mandible, soft tissue and mucosal lining in one stage using a single fibula osteocutaneous flap.
