The submental artery perforator flap (SMAPF) has an elongated pedicle, allowing good cosmetic outcomes to be achieved following oral reconstruction surgery. The improper dissection of perforators often leads to a vascular flap crisis. To avoid this, some surgeons choose to carry amounts of connective tissue around the pedicle. However the inclusion...

A local pedicled vascularized bone flap can prevent the morbidity and cost of free bone flap surgery in small segmental bone defects or long cartilaginous defects of the head and neck. Such flaps can also be useful in patients who are high risk for surgery. The periosteal vascularity of the mandible can be used to design islanded facial artery-base...

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of hydrogen in a rat model of osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ). The rats and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were pre-treated with hydrogen before receiving irradiation (7Gy per fraction, five fractions in total once a day for rats, 4Gy for BMSCs). Reactive oxygen...

Operable oral tongue cancers are managed best with surgery followed by adjuvant therapy as and when indicated. The only factor that affects the prognosis, and is under the control of a surgeon, is the tumour margin. Often in cases with trismus, which is prevalent in tobacco and areca nut users, obtaining a clear margin intraorally can be challengin...

Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose disease, especially when limited to the jaws. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with spontaneous jaw pain and a large pre-auricular facial swelling overlying the angle of the mandible that was non-responsive to previous antibiotic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...

During sialoendoscopy, insertion of the endoscope through the ductal orifice is usually a challenging procedure, especially for beginners. Based on our experience, we have found that using the Kolenda Salivary Access Introducer Set is the most reliable and easily learned ductal access approach. We report details of the technique and discuss the adv...

Head and neck surgery for advanced neck disease may require ablation of critical structures, including the internal jugular vein (IJV). Although unilateral ligation of the IJV is not commonly associated with a significant increase in morbidity, bilateral sacrifice of the internal venous system may cause severe complications. We present the case of ...
