2020
Here, we propose a practical, feasible and reproducible evaluation guideline for computer-assisted reconstruction of the mandible in order to create uniformity between studies regarding postoperative accuracy evaluation. This protocol continues and specifies an earlier publication of this evaluation guideline.

All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Surgical Preparation and Physiological Monitoring This video provides an introductory overview of surgical preparation, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care in swine. It is intended to familiarize learners with key...

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction
0 Views •
2025
This protocol presents a novel coronoid-temporalis pedicled flap (CTPF) technique for reconstructing small-to-medium orbital floor defects. CTPF avoids microvascular risks while maintaining biomechanical stability. Clinical cases demonstrate effective structural restoration, reduced complications, and preserved facial symmetry, offering a viable alternative to traditional grafts or alloplastic materials.

We describe a murine model of postoperative ileus generated via intestinal manipulation. Gastrointestinal transit function, pathologic changes, and immune cell activation were assessed 24 h after surgery.
FAQs
Blood supply and tissue quality strongly affect whether reconstructed areas can heal and function effectively. Surgeons must account for the condition of the remaining tissue, its ability to support repair, and the mechanical demands placed on the reconstructed region. These considerations help determine whether closure, grafting, a tissue flap, an implant, or a staged approach is most appropriate.
Mechanical function determines how well the restored area can withstand movement, support, or other physical demands. A reconstruction that improves appearance but does not restore useful movement or structural support may provide limited benefit. Planning therefore connects the chosen method with the anatomy being repaired, the tissue available, and the functional goals expected after healing.
These goals can compete, so reconstruction requires careful planning rather than attention to appearance alone. The surgical approach must support healing, protect important structures, restore useful function, and limit deformity while recognizing the possibility of complications. Follow-up is important because the final result depends not only on the initial repair but also on how recovery progresses.
Planning considers what anatomy has been removed, damaged, or altered; the quality and blood supply of the remaining tissue; and the functional demands of the affected area. The team may select wound closure, grafting, tissue flaps, implants, or staged procedures according to these needs. Follow-up then helps assess healing, function, appearance, and complications.
It may be considered when cancer treatment, trauma, infection, or another complex operation leaves missing, damaged, or altered tissue. Reconstruction can help restore form, improve mobility, protect vital structures, and support recovery. The appropriate approach depends on the resulting defect, the condition of nearby tissue, and the functional requirements of the affected body region.
Evaluation includes whether the restored area is healing, whether it provides the intended mechanical function, and whether it protects vital structures. Clinicians may also assess mobility, deformity, appearance, and complications during follow-up. Considering these outcomes together gives a broader view of recovery than judging the surgical site by appearance alone.
