Abstract:
Traumas, tumors, congenital malformations and infections of the face and the jaws may give rise to extensive tissue defects, causing esthetic disfigurement requiring challenging reconstruction. Facial and jaw defects can be repaired with various local tissue grafts. Free bone grafts can be used alone or combined with pedunculated grafts. Free tissue grafts can be taken that contain merely the skin and the subcutaneous fat, or they can be combined with bone, muscle, or a combination of these.
