Given the recent advances made in reconstructive facial surgery after tumor resection, this exhibit will educate the attendee on the various types of reconstructive flaps used to reconstruct the face after tumor surgery. In addition, complications which may occur will also be reviewed.

Using the case files from a major academic teaching institution with an active Head and Neck tumor service, various forms of reconstructive techniques will be described with an emphasis on the use of flaps. This exhibit will divide the face into regions, with review of the different types of surgery and reconstructive procedures of the orbit, the sinonasal cavity, and the oral cavity. Complications which may occur will also be reviewed.

This exhibit serves to review the types of surgeries performed in the face with regard to neoplasm, and the various techniques used to reconstruct these regions. This topic is of major relevance to all radiolgists who find these studies challenging and difficult to understand, interpret, and master.
