Abstract

Background

Locally advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer can present both oncologic and reconstructive challenges. There are no current guidelines for reconstruction of multi-unit defects, yet reconstructive goals should serve the purpose of providing a safe healing environment for both adjuvant therapy and functional rehabilitation. In light of a younger head and neck cancer population, reconstructive methods aimed at preserving form and function over a long survivorship period are optimal.

Methods

The review of the literature regarding use of single or double free flaps, with or without locoregional reconstructive options, and new techniques for multi-unit defects is described.

Results

Managing complex defects with multiple units involves determining a framework of critical, optimal, and optional elements for each reconstruction with consideration of the medical tolerance of the patient and long-term functional rehabilitation.

Conclusion

Multi-unit reconstruction should involve distinction of critical, optimal, and optional aspects to provide a safe healing environment for both adjuvant therapy and functional rehabilitation fit for long-term survivorship.

Der Aufbau von Geweben und Organen während der Embryonalentwicklung wird von den Zellen bemerkenswert choreografiert. Für diesen Prozess braucht es spezielle sogenannte „Organisatoren“. In einer aktuellen Veröffentlichung im Fachjournal Nature Cell Biology berichten Forschende durch welchen Vorgang diese Organisatoren im Gewebe entstehen und wie sie dann die Bildung von Zähnen orchestrieren.
