Carcinoma of the face: aspects of tumor surgery and operative technique.
Free grafts, regional or myocutaneous flaps, microvascular tissue transfer and prosthetic rehabilitation are essential techniques required for modern reconstruction of defects in the head and neck. The myocutaneous flaps and the microvascular grafts especially offer a wide variety of tissues useful for reconstruction. It is our belief that a microsurgical team should be organized in every major ENT department for interdisciplinary cooperation depending on the local situation.
