Head and neck surgery is the branch of medicine that deals with all the treatments and methods planned by specialist plastic surgeons for conditions such as cancer, workplace accidents, and gunshot wounds in the head and neck region.<\/p>\n
Head\u2013<\/u>In the Neck Area<\/strong> Many organs in the head and neck region can be repaired or reconstructed using microsurgical techniques. For example, a tumor may necessitate the surgical removal of all or part of the lower jaw. This procedure results in significant tissue loss in the jaw area, severely impairing the patient\u2019s quality of life. This is where microsurgery comes in. With microsurgery, bone, skin, and the blood vessels supplying them are taken from the leg, groin, or back and transplanted to the area with tissue loss, thus reconstructing the jaw. To nourish these newly transplanted tissues, the blood vessels in the transplanted tissues are sutured end-to-end under a microscope to ensure blood circulation.<\/p><\/li>\n Injuries from firearms that result in the loss of the nose and the upper and lower jaw can completely disrupt a person\u2019s life. In such cases, tissue transplantation from the arm, hip, and leg to the facial area can be performed simultaneously.<\/p><\/li>\n Using microsurgical techniques, the skin from the arm can also be transformed into a tube to repair the esophagus lost due to a tumor. In a patient with facial paralysis due to an accident or tumor, muscles and nerves are simultaneously transferred to restore movement to the area. In this way, function can be restored to the paralyzed area over time.<\/p><\/li>\n In Romberg disease, which affects the facial area, the soft tissues of the face, along with all the fat and bone tissues, erode. This can be unilateral or bilateral. In these patients, skin from the back or abdomen is thinned and used as filler. Microsurgical techniques are also used in this procedure. In this way, the depressions in the patient\u2019s face can be eliminated.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The most frequently asked questions about aesthetic procedures before, during, and after.<\/p>\n
