title: [Reconstruction of the face after mandibular resection for sarcoma].
abstract: The main requirement of facial reconstruction is restoration of function and symmetry. The authors emphasize the advantage of collaboration of the dental surgeon and plastic surgeon when dealing with facial defects after radical treatment of malignant tumours. They describe the observation of a girl where in 13-years-old they resected the lower jaw on account of a sarcoma and after the facial skeleton had completed its growth, they reconstructed the defect. The patient is now twenty years after the first operation and irradiation; she has no local relapse nor metastases of the original disease.
