[Cooperation between the plastic surgery and the head & neck surgery departments in the treatment of unusual cases, Veszprém, Hungary, 2010-2015].

Magyar Sebészet 2016 December
INTRODUCTION: Handling problems in the head and neck region often requires a close cooperation between allied professions, just as in the challenging cases presented by us. Cases and methodology: With the first patient, we performed a radical surgery on the left side of the face due to recidivious basal cell carcinoma, followed by reconstruction using a Type I chimeric anterolateral thigh flap (ALT), while in the case of the second patient, we carried out a radical surgery on the right side of the face due to epithelial carcinoma and reconstruction with a Type I chimeric thoracodorsal flap. With our third patient, a reconstructive operation was performed due to left-sided congenital hemifacial microsomia, using a profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap. The fourth patient, due to the loss of the right hemi mandible as a result of an injury, went through a reconstructive procedure designed with Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology, using a fibula free flap.

RESULTS: All chosen reconstructive methods proved to be efficient and safe solutions in handling the problems.

CONCLUSION: Through the cases presented, we intend to raise awareness of the importance of cooperation between maxillofacial and plastic surgery as well as of the ever-growing range of reconstructive opportunities through the flaps used.
