Mandibular reconstruction addresses defects from tumors, trauma, or congenital issues. This review covers surgical and rehabilitative options for restoring form and function after head and neck cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Head and Neck Oncology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Mandibular defects arise from various causes including congenital anomalies, trauma, infections, and cancer treatment.
  • Ablative surgery for head and neck tumors significantly impacts facial form and function, necessitating complex reconstruction.
  • Optimal outcomes require a multidisciplinary approach involving surgeons, oncologists, and rehabilitation specialists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review reconstructive and rehabilitative strategies for mandibular defects.
  • To highlight options for patients undergoing treatment for head and neck tumors.
  • To emphasize the importance of functional and cosmetic restoration.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current reconstructive techniques for mandibular defects.

Published on: August 4, 2020

  • Focus on options following ablative surgery for head and neck neoplasms.
  • Discussion of both reconstructive and rehabilitative phases.

    • Main Results:

    • Various reconstruction methods exist, including primary closure, allografts, autografts, locoregional flaps, and free tissue transfers.
    • The choice of reconstruction depends on defect size, location, and patient factors.
    • Rehabilitation is crucial for restoring speech, mastication, and aesthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • Mandibular reconstruction is essential for patients with defects following head and neck tumor treatment.
    • A range of surgical techniques are available, each with specific advantages and limitations.
    • Comprehensive reconstructive and rehabilitative care is vital for optimizing patient quality of life.
