Abstract:
Supermicrosurgery is a hot topic in the field of microsurgery and reconstruction. The core concept of supermicrosurgery is precision and minimally invasive, which coincides with the concept of maxillofacial reconstruction. Oral and maxillofacial regions play an important role in aesthetics and function, and the structure of oral and maxillofacial tissues is complex. Various types of flaps, especially vascularised free flaps, are required for the repair of various complex maxillofacial defects. However, at present, conventional microsurgery does meet the requirement of mandibular reconstruction in special cases. Super microsurgical technique can further supplement the deficiency of conventional methods of repair and reconstruction in maxillofacial reconstruction. Under the guidance, many new methods of maxillofacial surgery have inevitably emerged. The application of supermicrosurgery in maxillofacial head and neck is still in its early stage, and there are still many difficulties to overcome and many technical issues to be furtherresolved. Supermicrosurgery is not only an advanced technique, but also an advanced concept in surgery. Supermicrosurgery is expected to show its clinical value in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. In this paper, the application of supermicrosurgery in maxillofacial reconstruction is reviewed and its application prospect is prospected.
