title: Reconstruction of head and neck defects: a systematic approach to treatment.
abstract: Reconstruction of composite maxillofacial defects after tumor excision or trauma is difficult. The role of the reconstructive surgeon is to have a diverse armamentarium of reconstructive options to enable an aesthetic and functional reconstruction while minimizing the morbidity to the patient. This article will present a systematic review of composite maxillofacial reconstruction with free tissue transfer.
