[Head and neck reconstructions].
Tissue reconstructions of the head and neck are required both in the repair of tissue defects following the surgical excision of malignant tumors and in the treatment of various other facial deformities. While it is usually possible to repair a damaged tissue or organ region, functional restoration is very difficult. The aim is radical excision of the tumor, and successful reconstruction will provide quality of life for the patient even after an extensive surgical procedure. The goal of the new reconstructive procedures is as natural outcome as possible, but the risk for postoperative complications must be taken into account.
