[The need for using single-stage reconstructive operations following the removal of malignant head and neck tumors].
The paper discusses the results of treatment of 102 cases of locally-advanced malignant tumors of the head and neck. Myocutaneous flaps including m.m. platysma, sternocleidomastoideus, trapezius and pectoralis major were used to rectify primary postexcisional defects. Preoperative radiation treatment (30-100 Gy) was given to 92 patients. Primary reconstruction for defects of the head and neck failed to stimulate recurrence development or affect survival as compared to controls. Frequency of complications involved in the said method proved lower while stay at the hospital shorter as compared to other reconstructive procedures. The above method assured a shorter period of rehabilitation and thus saved funds.
