Algorithm for the repair of cheek defects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Defects of the cheek present the reconstructive surgeon with both cosmetic and functional challenges. These defects can range from simple buccal mucosal defects to composite defects of the lips, full thickness cheek, mandible and maxilla, each of which present additional levels of complexity. To best treat these patients, facial reconstructive surgeons should have access to a standardized defect algorithm that can aid in planning and executing reconstruction with successful outcomes.

Extended RetroauricularTemporal Flap with Conchal Cartilage for Alar or Columellar Reconstruction
Abstract Background: The retroauricular-temporal or Washio flap has been introduced for reconstruction of partial nose and cheek defects, and has many advantages. We decided to evaluate the extended use of this technique in order to repair full thickness nasal defects. Methods: Superficial temporal and retroauricular arteries are identified with Doppler flowmetry. Selection points A, B, C and ...

A defect may lie entirely within a single major unit or encompass several adjacent units, creating unique problems for repair. Composite defects overlap two or more facial units. Nasal defects often extend into the adjacent lip and cheek. The simplest solution...

متن کاملPresentation of a novel model of chitosan- polyethylene oxide-nanohydroxyapatite nanofibers together with bone marrow stromal cells to repair and improve minor bone defects
Objective(s):Various methods for repairing bone defects are presented. Cell therapy is one of these methods. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) seem to be suitable for this purpose. On the other hand, lots of biomaterials are used to improve and repair the defect in the body, so in this study we tried to produce a similar structure to the bone by the chitosan and hydroxyapatite. Materials and Me...
