[Microsurgically revascularized transplants for covering defects in the midface area].
Radical or palliative resection of tumours in the region of the midface often require a combined approach by maxillary-facial surgeons, as well as by oto-rhino-laryngologists. This holds true not only for the excision of the tumour, but also for adequate reconstructive measures. These are necessary to alleviate as much disfiguration as possible, and to ensure correct physiological and mechanical function, i.e. nasal patency and chewing ability. We are aware of the increasingly important rôle of microsurgically transplanted myocutaneous and osteomyocutaneous flaps. In this paper we demonstrate our operative technique by means of several selected cases, primarily in the use of the following pegged-vascularized flaps: 1. free myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flaps, 2. iliac osteomyocutaneous flaps and 3. modified rectus abdominis flaps.
