Advanced head and neck skin cancer requires a multidisciplinary team. Reconstructive surgeons use microvascular surgery for optimal functional and aesthetic restoration after tumor removal, improving patient quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Advanced skin cancer of the head and neck presents complex management challenges.
  • Treatment aims to control malignancy while preserving function and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of reconstructive surgery in managing advanced head and neck skin cancer.
  • To emphasize the benefits of microvascular surgery for post-resection restoration.

Main Methods:

  • Multidisciplinary team approach involving oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists.
  • Surgical resection of advanced skin cancer.
  • Reconstruction using advanced tissue transfer techniques, including microvascular surgery.

Main Results:
