Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillary defects arise from cancer excision, requiring complex reconstruction.
  • Reconstruction aims to restore function and aesthetics after maxillectomy.
  • Various surgical techniques exist for primary maxillary reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present outcomes of primary maxillary reconstruction in eleven cancer patients.
  • To detail the oncological aspects and reconstructive challenges faced.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different flap options in maxillary reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of eleven patients undergoing primary maxillary reconstruction post-cancer excision.
  • Classification of maxillectomy types: low partial, high partial, and radical.
  • Utilization of diverse reconstructive methods: skin grafts, temporalis muscle flap, radial forearm free flap, latissimus dorsi free flaps (single, double, triple paddle), and latissimus serratus rib composite flap.

Main Results:

  • Six out of eleven patients survived the follow-up period.
  • Three patients succumbed to recurrent cancer.
  • Two patients died due to myocardial infarction post-surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Primary maxillary reconstruction involves diverse techniques tailored to defect size.
  • Oncological control remains paramount, influencing long-term survival.
  • Flap selection impacts reconstructive success, but patient comorbidities are critical factors.
