Microvascular Reconstruction
In complex head and neck cancers, patients tend to lose parts of their facial features to cancerous growth. Micro vascular reconstruction of the face and neck region is the only solution. This highly advanced surgical technique to rebuild the face and neck uses the blood vessels, bone, tissue, as well as muscle and skin from other parts of the body. The technique involves harvesting flaps of healthy tissue where it is not considered of use, with the blood supply from remote sites in the body. The tissue is then transferred to the recipient wound bed where it will be of use in reconstructing the affected area of the head and neck.
