Indication and technique for the reconstruction of nerve defects in head and neck.

1974

Summary Although the results of peripheral nerve repair have been greatly improved in the last years following the introduction of microsurgery and increased application of free autologous nerve transplants, the use of restorative neuroplasty in maxillofacial surgery has been limited. Prompted by the successful reports on modern neuroplasty, we have introduced the use of autologous nerve transplant to bridge lesions of various cranial nerves. Our experience is based on the treatment of traumatic and tumour-induced defects of the facial nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, accessory and lingual nerve. The anastomosis of nerve was accomplished exclusively under the surgical microscope and microsur…

NECK DISSECTIONS: MISCONCEPTIONS, MALPRACTICE AND COMMON CONTROVERSIES

2007

B a c k g ro u n d. Neck metastases are the single most important prognostic factor in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Wise approach to neck treatment is then mandatory to give a chanche for cure. Still, there are some issues about neck dissection that need to be clarified. M e t h o d s. Through a review of the literature and of everyday clinical observations, the following issues are discussed: Functional Neck Dissection, biopsies, nodal levels, Selective Neck Dissections, Spinal Accessory Nerve, neck dissection classification. R e s u l t s. Integration of historical, anatomical, clinical and surgical concepts and up-to-date knowledge can allow to understand how to behave in diver…
