The lip is a crucial structure in the oral and maxillofacial region, serving vital physiological functions such as speech, swallowing, chewing, and expression. Due to the complexity of lip anatomy, function, and the various types of defects, the functional restoration and reconstruction of lip defects remain complex and challenging tasks. In this article, we summarize several methods for functional restoration and reconstruction of lip defects using local flaps that carry the depressor anguli oris muscle, as well as some free flaps. We also introduce methods for repairing extensive defects in the oral and maxillofacial region that are accompanied by lip defects using combinations of various tissue flaps.

Surgical treatment of craniofacial cleft and orbital hypertelorism: a single-center cohort study.

Neurosurg Focus

January 2025

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.

Traditionally, burn reconstructions have been performed by the use of skin grafting or local flaps. Recently free flaps are being used with increasing frequency. Although not very common in the head neck region, free flaps are mostly used for secondary reconstructions of cervicofacial contractures.
