Presentation:
The benefits of perioperative prostheses in nasal reconstructions
(A joint presentation by Dr. Th. Dedieu and Mrs. A.M. Riedinger.)
For nearly 40 years, hundreds of our patients have benefited from facial reconstruction. The use of retention methods through bone anchoring has fostered a close collaboration between anaplastologists and surgical teams.
Thus, tumor resection surgery and the placement of bone-anchored implants are performed in the same surgical session, and a one-stage reconstruction system using perioperative prosthesis has been developed. This allows for immediate reconstruction up until the delivery of the definitive bone-anchored prosthesis. We have kept pace with technical, medical, and technological advancements, and thanks to feedback from our patients, we have made numerous improvements to prosthetic nasal reconstruction since our first cases. The medical aspects will be addressed by the surgeons, while the anaplastologist will discuss the artistic and technical challenges.
