Abstract:
The collaboration of surgeons, radiation oncologists, chemotherapists, dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and speech therapists has led to major advances in the management of the difficult cancers of the head and neck area. The advent of myocutaneous flaps and the facilitation of microsurgical free flaps have ushered in an era of one-stage reconstructions to shorten the hospital stay and improve the overall therapeutic, functional, and cosmetic results.
