There are currently a number of options in routine clinical use for facial reconstruction following ablative procedures, as well as several budding advances that may provide alternative approaches in the future. This review aims to give an overview of the current status of facial reconstruction as well as an introduction to the new developments.

Anatomical study of the vascularization of the pedicled osteo-myo-cutaneous scapulo-dorsal flap.
Surg Radiol Anat

Maxillo-Facial Surgery Department, Beaujon University Hospital, Clichy, France.
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to conduct a radioanatomical study of the osteo-myo-cutaneous scapulo-dorsal pedicled flap.
Methods: A radiological study was performed to study the anatomical variations of the dorsal scapular pedicle (origin, course of the deep branch of the dorsal scapular artery (DSA) in relation to the medial border of the scapula, perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA). Perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA were also identified on anatomical subjects, and their cutaneous vascular territory was determined.
Current options in jaw and facial reconstructions.

In recent years, many advances have been made in surgical fields of oral and maxillofacial reconstruction, and the variety and complexity of available surgical approaches consider different functionalities of the jaw and the aesthetics of the face. There is no validated or scientifically proven basis for deciding which flap to use for reconstruction, so decisions are often made based on the direct and indirect experiential knowledge of the reconstructive surgeon. Considering the modified ladder, elevator, and pie reconstructive options, their risk and donor morbidity, and their long-term outcomes, the simplest option that will achieve the best long-term outcome in terms of form and function and with the lowest donor morbidity should be chosen for the patient's health and social welfare.

3ENT and Head and Neck Research Center and Department, The Five Senses Health Institute, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Objective: Craniofacial clefts, characterized by congenital disruptions in the development of facial and cranial tissues, often present alongside orbital hypertelorism (ORH), an abnormal increase in the interorbital distance. These conditions pose significant challenges in craniofacial surgery due to the complex anatomical and functional considerations involved. This single-center cohort study retrospectively analyzed 22 patients diagnosed with craniofacial cleft syndromes and ORH who were treated at the Craniofacial Centre, Fatima Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Hospital between July 2016 and October 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with conventional treatments often causing damage to healthy tissues and facing issues like drug resistance.
- Biomaterials offer benefits like targeted delivery and better efficacy, but traditional synthetic options struggle with compatibility issues, making natural, cell-inspired biomaterials a promising alternative.
- The review details the history, cancer abnormalities, design strategies, and applications of these cell-inspired biomaterials, while also highlighting the challenges and future potential in cancer therapy.
