A large extraoral fungus, frequently seen in late head and neck cancers, poses serious difficulties for the management of anesthesia and surgery. Essential factors include preoperative optimization, airway assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care. Risk mitigation and outcome optimization strategies are discussed, including appropriate airway management and hemodynamic monitoring. Ideal patient outcomes in situations of extensive extraoral fungation can be attained by a complete plan that integrates surgical expertise and anesthetic care. This case discusses the successful anesthetic management of a 55-year-old man undergoing composite resection with segmental mandibulectomy, appropriate neck dissection, free fibular flap, and scalp flap for squamous cell carcinoma of the lower labial mucosa with significant extraoral fungation.

Chimeric anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of complex defects in oral cancer: a report of three cases.

It is crucial to reconstruct extensive soft tissue defects following oral cancer resection to restore both function and aesthetics. Single anterolateral thigh flaps may not suffice for large defects. This report highlights the use of chimeric flaps, which feature multiple paddles with individual perforators, to reconstruct large intraoral and extraoral defects, adapting to wide defects, and covering areas with extensive tissue damage.

Purpose: This study proposes a novel intraoral approach combined with sub-sigmoid osteotomy to effectively and safely remove of ectopic third molar teeth without complications.
Methods: The procedure included a sub-sigmoid osteotomy to expose and remove the ectopic tooth, followed by fixation of the osteotomized coronoid with titanium plates. Preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used for precise tooth localization.

Article Synopsis
- Autotransplantation is a surgical approach used to reposition teeth, particularly impacted canines, which are more common in females and may be embedded due to late eruption.
- *The systematic review examined 11 studies with 395 canine transplants, showing higher success rates in younger females, with long-term survival rates of up to 67.9% after over 21 years.
- *While autotransplantation can be effective, complications and patient satisfaction are under-researched, highlighting the need for better consensus guidelines in treatment decisions.*
The Effectiveness of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Older Patients With Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: A Case Series.

Department of Oral Diagnosis and Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, JPN.
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) has emerged as one of the major adverse effects of antiresorptive agents in the treatment of patients with cancer and osteoporosis. MRONJ presents as a chronic inflammation of the maxillary and/or mandibular bones accompanied by necrotic bone exposure and intra-/extraoral fistula. Given the increasing number of patients with MRONJ, surgical treatment is highlighted to be significantly beneficial for those patients.

This narrative review evaluates the existing literature on the clinical efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and plasma rich in growth factors (PRGFs) in extra-oral wound care, considering their potential benefits and drawbacks. The review specifically focuses on the impact of these treatments on patients' quality of life, pain management, treatment costs, recurrence rates, and potential complications. Given the extensive literature and diverse range of extra-oral wound types in which these autologous platelet concentrates have been applied, this narrative review focuses on the most frequently described wound types, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, and burns.
