Removing a cancer is often only half the battle for the head & neck cancer surgeon. Removing the cancer might require removing large portions of a patients jaw, tounge or other vital structure. The aim of this text is to offer the readership a guide to the options available for head and neck reconstruction and the technique for achieving the optimal functional and aesthetic results. This book will cover the reconstruction of major soft tissue, bony, and muscular defects of the head, neck, and skull base. The unique aspect of this text lies in its defect- oriented approach. This approach allows the surgeon to match the patients defect with one reviewed in the text to understand the options and techniques for an optimal reconstruction.
