Description
Felix Neumann and co-authors present a 2026 journal article on rebuilding the midface after cancer surgery. The team reviewed 98 patients who had microvascular reconstruction for tumor-caused midface defects between 2017 and 2022. Flap choice, bone or soft tissue, followed the size and shape of each defect under a standard classification.
Most defects fell in one middle class, and most were one-sided. Complications appeared in about fifty-eight percent of cases, mostly minor bleeding or wound problems. Major problems hit about nine percent, with three early flap losses. Bone flaps tended toward loss more than soft tissue flaps. Few patients went on to dental implants.
