Current Concepts in Maxillary Reconstruction
Abstract
Defects involving the midface and maxilla pose unique challenges to reconstructive surgeons. The maxilla serves as the central keystone of the face and interfaces with various other facial subunits to affect form and function. Reconstructive methods range from prosthetics to free tissue transfer, and the indications for different options are reviewed here. Finally, special considerations including management of the orbit, dental rehabilitation, and future directions are discussed.
