[Management and complications of tumor resections of the midface]. HNO. 2018 May 24;: Authors: Beule AG Abstract Only about 8% of head and neck tumors affect the midface. This anatomical area is characterized by an enormous number of functionally important structures, and it is frequently only possible to achieve small resection margin distances. To avoid complications and unfavorable results, a dedicated preparation of both patient and surgeon is warranted. This review aims to provide encouragement for the postgraduate training of interested ENT specialists. Following the clinical course and based on recent literature, strategies to avoid complications of tumor surgery to the midface are given. PMID: 29797020 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
