Case Reviews in Head and Neck Vascular Lesion Management.

The treatment of hemangiomas and vascular malformations should be individualized, based upon the size of the lesion(s), morphology, location, presence or possibility of complications, the potential for scarring or disfigurement, the age of the patient, and the rate of growth or involution at the time of evaluation. The major challenge is the location in a head and neck can lead to unsightly scars if approached improperly, or with inadequate approaches can lead to intraoperative and postoperative morbidity with neurovascular damage and inadequate lesion excision. Facial, trigeminal, and other cranial nerve branches are of key importance in the functional outcome while accessing and approaching head and neck vascular lesions.

Simplified Zygomatic Implant Perforated (Zip) Flap for Rehabilitation in Low Level Maxillary Defects.

Rehabilitation in Low level maxillectomy cases has plethora of options right from local flaps to microvascular flaps. Subsequent to flap surgery, a maxillary dental rehabilitation can be demanding and a fixed or removable prosthesis is obligatory to provide them with near-normal function and aesthetics. Unlike the original ZIP flaps which were dedicated to microvascular flaps, we present here our unique experience with ZIP-Temporalis flap specifically for rehabilitation for patients of CAM (covid associated mucormycosis), its methods, advantages and limitations.

Piezo-osteotomy in orthognathic surgery: A comparative clinical study.

Background: After the clinical introduction of ultrasound scalpel in recent years, piezosurgery has become competitive with conventional instruments in orthognathic procedures to reduce the operative and postoperative complications reported to occur in association with these surgeries.

Aims: The aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of both piezoelectric device and the traditional bur technique in orthognathic surgery. Intraoperative bleeding time, operative time, postoperative swelling, and neurological impairment were evaluated.

Inferior alveolar nerve dysfunction in mandibular fractures: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and recovery of inferior alveolar nerve dysfunction (IAND) in mandibular fractures.

Materials And Methods: : This was a prospective cohort study. Clinical neurosensory testing was done preoperatively and the IAND was categorized as mild, moderate or severe.

Quality of life assessment in patients with long-term neurosensory dysfunction after mandibular fractures.

Background: Long-term neurosensory dysfunction after mandibular fractures can have a significant impact on daily performances and quality of life (QoL) of the patient. The daily activities such as eating, speaking, shaving, kissing, and other social interactions can be affected due to the impaired sensation in the face and lip region.

Methods: A cross-sectional QoL assessment was done for the patients with inferior alveolar nerve dysfunction (IAND) from mandibular fractures at the 6-month follow-up visit.

Management of Ameloblastoma with Free Tissue Flap in Comparison with Other Reconstructive Options Available.

Aim: To review the management and reconstruction of ameloblastoma of mandible in different age groups over a period of 11 years.

Methodology: This retrospective study includes 51 cases operated in the Maxillofacial Unit, Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital, Bangalore, from the year 2007 to 2017. The data of these patients were collected to record demographic data such as age, gender with site of tumour and type of reconstruction after resection, follow-up period and incidence of complications.
