    This study explores jaw reconstruction after cancer surgery, comparing immediate and delayed methods using titanium mesh and various flaps. Both approaches aimed to restore function and appearance, with results and complications analyzed in 54 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Jaw and neck dissection for cancer can cause severe functional and cosmetic deficits due to soft tissue and mandibular loss.
    • Reconstructing the mandible without adequate soft tissue coverage risks complications like exposure, infection, and implant rejection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of immediate and delayed mandibular reconstruction techniques.
    • To compare the efficacy of titanium mesh combined with different flap methods for soft tissue and bone restoration.

    Main Methods:

    • Immediate reconstruction involved using titanium mesh with autologous materials (marrow, rib, scapular spine, clavicle) and myocutaneous flaps for intraoral coverage.
    • Delayed reconstruction (6 months to 2 years post-resection) utilized titanium mesh prostheses with myocutaneous flaps or osteomyocutaneous flaps for reconstruction and soft tissue augmentation.

  • The study analyzed results and complications in a cohort of 54 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Presents the outcomes and complication rates for both immediate and delayed reconstruction groups.
    • Details the use of titanium mesh, various bone grafts, and myocutaneous/osteomyocutaneous flaps in reconstructive procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Mandibular reconstruction following extensive resection is feasible using titanium mesh and flap techniques.
    • Both immediate and delayed reconstruction strategies offer solutions for functional and cosmetic restoration, though complication profiles may differ.
