[Role of microsurgically revascularized flaps in the treatment of radionecrosis of the mandible]. / Der Stellenwert mikrochirurgisch revaskularisierter Lappen bei der Therapie der Radionekrose des Unterkiefers.

In spite of advances in radiation therapy of malignant tumours, osteoradionecrosis cannot always be prevented. This form of therapy causes problems particularly in reconstruction of the mandible. Seven cases are presented, and the advantages of microsurgically revascularized tissue transfer (over other methods of treatment) are pointed out and discussed.
