Overview

Comparative analysis of oncologic outcomes in maxillary sinus malignancies, highlighting reconstruction techniques and prognostic factors.

Key Points

  • To compare oncologic outcomes of prosthetic obturator and free flap reconstruction after maxillectomy for maxillary sinus malignancies.
  • Analyzed outcomes of patients undergoing maxillectomy with obturator or free flap reconstruction.
  • Evaluated resection margin status and postoperative adjuvant therapy as prognostic factors.
  • Used survival data for comparison of reconstruction methods.
  • Found comparable survival rates between obturator and free flap reconstruction.
  • Identified resection margin status and adjuvant therapy as key predictors of outcomes.
  • Emphasized the need for individualized approaches in reconstruction.
