The surgical procedures for the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) vary, which include the excision of fibrous bands with the use of grafts or flaps. Flaps that are being widely used include tongue flaps, buccal fat pad (BFP), greater palatine pedicle flaps, nasolabial flaps, anterolateral thigh flap, radial forearm flap, and temporalis fascia flap. This case with grade III OSMF is being planned for reconstruction with the BFP graft after surgical resection of fibrotic bands, temporalis muscle myotomy, and bilateral coronoidectomy. After regular follow-up for 6 years, the BFP flap healed nicely with complete epithelization of the flap. There were no complications. BPF is definitely a reliable resource for the reconstruction of buccal mucosal defects in the surgical management of OSMF.

Introduction: Owing to limitations of various flap procedures for the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), we tried to evaluate the outcome of the buccal fat pad (BFP) with collagen membrane as an alternative.
Materials And Methods: We performed the aforementioned technique on eight patients diagnosed with OSF who underwent management using the BFP with a collagen membrane.
Results: We observed a significant mean gain in mouth opening of 5.

Background: Delayed migration of non-absorbable surgical clips into the urinary tract is a rare but potentially morbid complication that may lead to pain, infection, stone formation, and urinary obstruction. The literature on clip erosion into the upper tracts are limited to a handful of case reports of case reports. The purpose of our study was to review outcomes of robotic ureteral reconstruction (RUR) of non-absorbable clip erosion into the ureter.

For this study, the surgical outcomes of patients with advanced medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), treated with different local flaps for soft-tissue closure, were evaluated. Cases of stage 2 and 3 MRONJ patients (n = 96) with a 12-month minimum follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent surgical treatment and soft-tissue closure with local flaps, including buccal fat flap (BFF), nasolabial flap (NLF), facial artery musculomucosal flap (FAMM-F), and submental island flap (SIF), based on the size and location of the defects.

Background/purpose: Bone reconstruction in the maxillofacial region typically relies on autologous bone grafting, which presents challenges, including donor site complications and graft limitations. Recent advances in tissue engineering have identified highly pure and proliferative dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) as promising alternatives. Herein, we explored the capacity for osteoblast differentiation and the osteoinductive characteristics of extracellular vesicles derived from DFATs (DFAT-EVs).
