title: [Surgical and prosthetic reconstruction of post-tumor defects of the face (case report)].
abstract: This paper shows a combination of methods in treatment of a facial post tumorous defect. Simultaneous surgical and prosthetic reconstruction was used when treating ablation of the facial basal cell carcinoma in a 70 year old female patient. When planning this surgery the next must be taken into consideration: the age of the patient, general health condition and the size and type of the defect, especially of the bone structures. It means that collaboration between the surgeon and prosthetic is of great importance. In this way a very fast facial rejuvenation can be achieved, even in large defects which enables not only healing but further social rehabilitation of such patients too.
