Abstract

Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers are a group of rare cancers of head and neck cancers. Surgery is the main method of treatment for nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers. Maxillary defects after oncologic resection can lead to not only functional problems but also cosmetic deformity. Reconstruction of maxillary defects remains the most challenging endeavor for plastic surgeons. The anterolateral thigh free flap has several advantages to becoming the best material to reconstruct maxillofacial defects. This report has introduced some results of reconstruction defects after surgical resection of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers with the anterolateral thigh free flap.
