- * A study involving 54 patients who underwent reconstructive surgery using skin grafts or local flaps assessed aesthetic outcomes through various scales evaluated by three independent surgeons.
- * Results showed that patients receiving local flap reconstructions reported higher satisfaction in both aesthetics and functionality compared to other methods, indicating a better approach to reconstructing facial tissue defects after cancer surgery.
