Craniofacial reconstruction following oncologic resection

Matthew M Hanasono et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2013 Jan.

Abstract

The ability to reliably reconstruct complex and sizable wounds has decreased the morbidity of skull base surgery substantially, preventing major complications and allowing treatment of tumors previously considered inoperable. Addressing facial nerve function with static and dynamic procedures as well as fabrication of craniofacial prostheses to replace delicate facial landmarks has further increased surgeons' ability to restore the appearance and function of the face.
