The Role of Anticoagulation Regimen on Flap Outcome in Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction.

Background: Thrombus formation following flap reconstruction reduces perfusion and can lead to flap compromise. Effective anticoagulation protocols are essential to prevent this complication.

Purpose: The study's purpose was to measure and compare flap compromise associated with 3 different anticoagulation protocols.

Odontogenic carcinosarcoma of the mandible: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Odontogenic carcinosarcoma, a rare and challenging diagnosis, was identified in a 60-year-old male through histopathology, revealing a biphasic neoplasm with malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. Surgical resection is crucial for management, highlighting the importance of vigilant postoperative follow-up to ensure early detection of any recurrence.

Abstract: One rare mixed malignant odontogenic tumor is odontogenic carcinosarcoma, which comprises malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components.

The role of histology on the outcome of sinonasal carcinomas treated with radiotherapy: a single institution experience.

Purpose: Sinonasal malignancies are a rare group of head and neck cancers. We aimed to report the oncological outcomes based on histological types in patients who underwent radiotherapy.

Materials And Methods: In this single-institution study, we retrospectively retrieved and analyzed data of patients with sinonasal carcinomas who underwent radiotherapy during 2011-2016 as part of their treatment.

Functional and esthetic outcomes of virtual surgical planning versus the conventional technique in mandibular reconstruction with a free fibula flap: A retrospective study of 24 cases.

This study aimed to compare the functional and esthetic results in patients following mandibular reconstruction with a free fibula flap (FFF) by virtual surgical planning (VSP) versus the conventional technique. Patients who had undergone mandibular reconstruction with a FFF by VSP or the conventional technique were retrospectively assessed. The two groups were compared regarding functional and esthetic variables with appropriate scales preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.

Reconstruction with facial artery musculo-mucosal flap (FAMM.F) after resection of upper lip pleomorphic adenoma: Case report.

Introduction: Although pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common neoplasm of both minor and major salivary glands, its presence in the buccal surface of upper lip is rare.

Presentation Of Case: A 70-year-old male presented with a chief complaint of recent rapid growth of a mass in the buccal aspect of the upper lip. A well-circumscribed mass measuring 3 × 2 cm with intact overlying mucosa without regional lymphadenopathy was evident.
