The Innovative Art of Reconstruction in Otolaryngology

Reconstruction in otolaryngology is an incredibly diverse and complex topic. From tumors, both benign and malignant, to trauma from mechanisms as varied as from motor vehicle crashes to self-inflicted gunshot wounds, the surgical defects necessitating reconstruction are vast. Reconstruction of these defects requires both intimate knowledge of anatomy and thorough understanding of normal physiologic function in order to best achieve rehabilitation of form and function. The techniques used in reconstructive surgery of the head and neck require technical knowledge as well as an ability to adapt, as each reconstruction is unique.
