Video demonstrations
Our collection of anatomy video demonstrations is
organised in ‘chapters’ of short video clips that deal
with the anatomy of the head and neck region, of donor
sites commonly used in maxillofacial surgery, and a
video focussing on functional reconstructive
surgery . Many pages on maxfacts tie in with the
following brief overview of head and neck anatomy.
The head and neck region:
Donor sites commonly used in reconstructive
maxillofacial surgery:
For relevant context for all these donor sites, you
might be interested to read about soft
and hard tissue reconstructive maxillofacial
surgery in general , surgical treatment of oral ,
skin ,
or salivary
gland cancer , bone
lesions , repair
following major trauma , management of cleft
lip and palate or other congenital
malformations , the impact
and origin as well as the surgical
treatment of osteonecrosis and soft
tissue necrosis , dental
rehabilitation following major surgery
and/or radiotherapy ,
or some of the more technical aspects of surgical
planning, for example by means of 3D printing of
models and templates based on high-resolution CT or MRI
data.
A brief summary:
Structure
and function in reconstructive maxillofacial
surgery .
Knowledge about the anatomy of donor and recipient
sites will help to understand the working of a wide
range of physiotherapy
exercises and in this way will help to
engage and help oneself on the way to recovery.
