Abstract:
Surgery to repair cheek defect has been performed for a long time but no method can be considered as the best and be universally applicable since the shape and size of cheek defect are variable and no reasonable classification is established for cheek defect.Two hundred and twenty-three cases of cheek defect were collected in a 26-year period from 1964 to 1990.According to the size and degree of the cheek defects,a classification into 5 categories and corresponding 5 repair methods were established.The total success rate war 92.83%.The clinical features of the defects,the indications of operation,and the choice of repair methods for different types of defects were discussed.It is concluded that our classification of cheek defects into 5 categories is helpful to differentiate the operative indications,to choose the suitable method of repair and to evaluate the.therapeutic efficacy.
