Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck can be treated with a combination of modalities. There is an esthetic and functional compromise with midfacial defects secondary to ablative surgery and adjuvant therapies for SCC. Osteoradionecrosis, tissue contracture, and trismus, are all negative side effects of treatment and can impact a patient's function and possibly their nutrition. In this report, we describe a procedure for fabrication of a prosthesis that provides cosmetic improvement and labial competence to maintain caloric intake.
头颈部鳞状细胞癌 (SCC) 可以采用多种方法联合治疗。由于 SCC 的消融性手术和辅助治疗，中面部缺损会导致美容和功能受损。放射性骨坏死、组织挛缩和牙关紧闭都是治疗的负面副作用，会影响患者的功能，甚至可能影响其营养状况。在本报告中，我们描述了一种制作假体的方法，该方法可改善外观并保持嘴唇的闭合能力，从而维持热量摄入。
