[Reconstruction of the facial skeleton using Pallacos R].
Defects of the facial skeleton cause frequently severe aesthetic facial changes with negative repercussions also on the patient's mental state. The skeleton may be affected by injury, a neoplastic disease and iatrogenically when it is necessary to remove a part of the skeleton during operation. One possible way how to replace and reconstruct the skeleton is to use bone cement Pallacos R. This method was used in 8 patients with skeletal affections. The use of Pallacos R has the advantage that it can be used quickly, that it is easy to work with directly at the site of the defect and that its tolerance is satisfactory. It permits also to preserve the physiological shape of the paranasal sinuses. The method is one approach to individually indicated reconstruction.
