title: Microsurgical reconstruction during treatment of oncological diseases of head and neck.
abstract: In 37 oncological patients where extensive resections of the face, maxilla, mandible or calva were necessary, microsurgical reconstructions were used in 27 cases as primary operations at the time of resection, and in 10 cases delayed or secondary operations were made. 49 flaps were used. In five cases two flaps were used in a single stage reconstruction, i.e. one flap for reconstruction of the mandible or buccal and on the other for facial side of the face. During operations a multidisciplinary approach of the surgical team comprising a maxillofacial surgeon, ENT and plastic surgeon is preferred.
