Improving reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancers requires enhanced collaboration. A multi-facility system, utilizing digital imaging and preoperative planning, achieved a 96.3% success rate in re-vascularized free flap transfers.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Head and Neck Oncology
  • Microsurgery

Context:

  • Challenges in managing reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancers, particularly with geographically dispersed surgical teams.
  • The necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration between plastic surgeons and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-facility cooperation system for head and neck cancer reconstructive surgery.
  • To highlight the role of digital communication and preoperative planning in improving surgical outcomes.

Summary:

  • Discusses issues in reconstructive surgery for head and neck cancers requiring collaboration between distant plastic surgeons and ENT doctors.
  • Emphasizes preoperative discussions and the use of computer systems with Internet for sharing imaging data (CT, MRI).
