Reclassifying cT4b buccal mucosa/gingivobuccal complex cancers: do we need to change?

T4b carcinomas are termed as very locally advanced carcinomas of the oral cavity and are deemed borderline resectable or unresectable. The role of surgery for these patients is not well defined. We therefore aimed to relook at the role of surgery for cT4b carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Role of Selective Neck Dissection in Clinically Single Node Positive Disease in Oral Cavity Cancers.

Management of the neck in oral cavity squamous carcinoma is debatable. There is controversy regarding role of SND in single node positive neck in oral SCC. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of selective neck dissection (SND) for cN1 neck in patients with oral cancer.

Clinical outcomes for microvascular reconstruction in oral cancers: experience from a single surgical centre.

Introduction: Reconstruction of a surgical defect is an important part of the management of oral cancers. Microvascular free flap construction provides better functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Methods: Between 2014 and 2020, some 524 patients underwent microvascular reconstruction.

Pedicled Flap vs. Free Flap Reconstruction in Head and Neck Cancers: Clinical Outcome Analysis from a Single Surgical Team.

Head and neck cancers are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indian population. Reconstruction and restoration of function are also of paramount importance in these patients. The aim of this study was to report outcomes for free flaps and pedicle flaps in patients with oral cavity cancers.

Microvascular reconstruction for head and neck cancers in high risk population: clinical outcomes and complications.

Introduction: Microvascular reconstruction is the gold standard for reconstruction in oral cavity cancers. Age and comorbidities determine the type of reconstruction. We aimed to analyse the impact of high-risk comorbidities on perioperative morbidity.
