Done for facial trauma/avulsive injury in which part of face is lost, for ablative surgeries involving head neck region be it benign/ malignant(cancers), for congenital birth defects/cleft lip palate/craniofacial disorders, or even years after abovementioned incidences.
The few goals of these complex surgeries are to provide near normal esthetcis & function(speech/swallowing/mastication etc.) like before surgery or to enhance it. For these tissues/bone/skin/muscles/nerves/vessels would be taken from distant areas of your body and transplanted into head & neck region.
We believe it is an art & essence of a surgical skills which if put together can do wonders for our patients who loses hope once they know their diagnosis is something which will need aggressive resection & they may loose basic functions like speech/swallowing/lip competence/mastication etc.
