Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

“Updates on Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery" focuses on clinical research that presents the most recent updates and developments in the field of maxillofacial plastic.

Recently, surgical procedures have made great progress, including refinements in techniques for face and neck lifts, rhinoplasty, and chin augmentation. We are also still exploring new approaches to address certain challenges, such as surgical complications or aesthetic concerns.

The aim is to find novel uses of non-surgical treatments in maxillofacial plastic surgery, such as injectable treatments like botox and fillers for facial rejuvenation, their role in non-surgical jawline reshaping or correcting asymmetries, and advanced laser technologies for skin resurfacing and scar revision.

Additionally, technological innovations are important. Personalized treatments, customized procedures, and minimally invasive procedures offer shorter recovery times and reduced risk for patients.

With this Special Issue, we look forward to original articles and reviews within the field of "Maxillofacial Plastic Surgery".

Background/Objectives: The need for surgical reconstruction of scalp defects following the excision of cutaneous skin cancers is an increasingly common procedure. Particular challenges arise when considering options for reconstruction of large defects not amenable to local skin flap coverage. The use of skin grafts poses the risk of donor site morbidity. This paper investigates the emerging use of Integra®, a synthetic acellular dermal regeneration template, as an alternative or adjunct to skin grafting in scalp reconstruction. Methods: The study presents a retrospective analysis of 101 patients who underwent Integra®-based reconstruction of scalp defects. Demographics, procedure details, complications, need for further surgery, and time to healing were evaluated. Results: The overall success rate of the one-stage Integra®-only procedure was 95%, with a minor complication rate of 30.7%. Anticoagulation medication was identified as an independent risk factor for post-operative infection, while previous head and neck radiotherapy and increased defect depth were associated with the requirement for a second-stage skin graft. Conclusions: These findings support the consideration of Integra® as a safe and viable alternative for both partial and full thickness scalp defects in a select cohort of complex highly co-morbid patients, reducing complications and the need for additional procedures.
