Assessment of Cervical Lymphadenopathy
Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
FNAC is easy to perform, can be reported immediately, and has overall accuracy rates exceeding 90%. e technique is particularly useful in the assessment of a palpable node when searching for an unknown primary, because the cytological aspirate can be subjected to tests that may help in the search for the primary tumour. HPV or Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) transcripts (or their surrogate markers) will point to a primary site in the oropharynx or nasopharynx, respectively. Trucut biopsy of the lymph node, particularly under ultra­sound guidance, is increasingly being used.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound can detect the presence of malignant cervical lymph nodes with sensitivity rates between 70% and 90%. When ultrasound is combined with FNAC, the rate increases to 90%.
Computed Tomography (CT)
e diagnostic accuracy of CT scanning in detecting malignant cervical lymphadenopathy is higher than clinical examination. e criteria used for categorising metastatic deposits include lymph nodes with a short-axis diameter larger than 1 cm, a cluster of three or more borderline enlarged nodes larger than 0.8 cm, and nodal necrosis or patchy enhancement within the nodes.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI can detect cervical lymphadenopathy with overall similar accuracy rates to CT, although meta-analyses have found CT to perform better than MRI. However, MRI may be better in evaluating the N0 neck and in the presence of deep invasion.
PET CT
Currently, the widespread role of PET-CT is conned to detecting the occult primary, detecting unknown distant metastases in certain clinical settings, and assessing residual and recurrent disease aer irradiation. e PET-CT detection rate for nodes less than 1 cm is reported at 71%. us, this modality has a poor detection rate (0–30%) in the setting of the N0 neck.
Treatment of Metastatic Neck Disease
The N0 Neck
General consensus in the literature is that it is prudent to treat the neck when the risk of occult spread is more than 15–20%. In fact, many surgeons and oncologists would perform elective neck treatment for smaller probability (5–15%) of occult metastases. At least in oral cavity cancer, this approach has been proven to have a signicant impact upon both overall and disease-free survival.
Although there are no prospective trials, retrospective data from studies with large numbers suggest that elective neck dissection (END) and irradiation are equally eective in control­ling subclinical disease. Generally, when the primary tumour is being treated with radio­therapy, then elective treatment should be with radiotherapy. When the primary tumour is treated with surgery, then elective neck surgery should be carried out (Figure 69.3).
In the presence of advanced primaries at high risk of occult spread or midline cancers, con­tralateral neck treatment is oen warranted.
The N+ Neck
e treatment oered to the neck oen depends on the modality used to treat the primary site, as seen in the suggested algorithms for patients undergoing primary chemoradiation (Figure 69.4) and primary surgery (Figure 69.5).

Adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is indicated for surgically managed N2 and N3 disease and for N1 disease with poor prognostic features.
If the N+ neck is treated with primary radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, response to treat­ment should be determined with a 12-week PET CT scan. Complete responders can be safely observed. Incomplete responders should be oered neck dissection. Surgical procedures aer chemoradiotherapy are associated with more complications.
Treatment Outcomes
Regional control rates in the N0 neck are good regardless of modality, with failure rates of 3–7%. Recurrence rates in the N+ neck vary depending upon stage and presence of ENE. Where the primary tumour has been controlled, overall recurrence rates range from 10% in the N1 neck without ENE, 20–30% for N2 disease, and up to 85% for N3 disease.

70. PROSTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF ORAL AND FACIAL DEFECTS
Introduction
Successful complex oral and facial rehabilitation with prosthesis requires detailed planning by a specialist multidisciplinary team. Members of the team include maxillofacial prosth­odontists and extended team members, including hygienists, technicians, and the primary care dental professionals. Osseointegrated implants are an essential tool in the reconstruc­tion of oral and facial defects, and their use (primary or secondary) should form part of treatment planning.
Pre-Operative Assessment
Where prosthetic rehabilitation is likely, early assessment by the maxillofacial prosth­odontist is important. All dentate patients should be screened with detailed examination and radiographs to decide on retention or extraction of teeth and potential support avail­able to for the prosthesis. Modication of risk factors (e.g. smoking or excess alcohol con­sumption) should be attempted at this time to reduce risks related to implant/prosthesis failure.
Management of the Maxillary Defect
e use of obturators in the reconstruction of maxillary defects has gradually been reduced, with increased use of predictable free vascularised tissue transfer. e manage­ment decision should take into account the size and location of tumour, tumour subtype, prognosis, and the patient’s tness for surgery. Ideally, very large defects are managed with free tissue transfer, but defects up to Brown 2 can be successfully managed with an obturator.
1
Preparation must begin before surgery with careful planning of resection margins, in par­ticular alveolar margin bony cuts because they are integral to the accuracy and t of the prosthesis. Depending on the size and location of the defect, components to aid the retention of the prosthesis can be incorporated. ese include clasps on remaining teeth, circumzygo­matic wires, and concomitant insertion of osseointegrated implants.

PROSTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF ORAL AND FACIAL DEFECTS
Surgical Modications to Facilitate Obturator Provision
Where possible, bony cuts through the maxillary alveolus should be made through
edentulous bone or tooth extraction socket. Incisions through hard palate mucosa should be made lateral to bone cuts, to create
keratinised mucosal ap to cover cut edge of bone. Graing of cheek defects is done with split-thickness skin gra to produce a scar band
and aid retention. Consider excision of the inferior turbinate to provide more vertical space and to pre-
vent future trauma. Relining of the obturator with addition of cured silicone to provide rigid support to
the cheek and engage undercuts in the resection and aid retention in the immediate post-operative period. Modify and further reline 1–3 weeks aer surgery (general anaesthetic (GA) may be
required) to maintain oronasal/oroantral seal. Further relines may be required until denitive impressions for the prosthesis can be
performed.
Multipart Maxillary Obturators and the Use of Osseointegrated Implants
Trismus is a common complication of combined surgery and radiotherapy, and it can lead to diculties in taking impressions as well as insertion of the nal prosthesis. Separately constructed components that can be held together with magnets may help circumvent this problem. e use of implants (e.g. zygomatic implants) can help minimise the size of the prosthesis required and aid retention.
Prosthetic Management of Facial Defects
Facial defects can either be surgical or congenital. Traditional methods of reconstruction utilised a combination of skin adhesive, undercuts, and spectacle frames, which have all largely been superseded by implant retention.
Preparation of the defect edges can help maximise the aesthetic result. Smoothing of sharp corners, removal of unsupported so tissue, and the possibility of lining of the defect wall with split-thickness skin gras should all be considered as part of the planning process. Preservation of nasal bones is advantageous if possible, to provide vertical support for the prosthesis and spectacles. Reduction of the projection of the nasal septum helps create space within the defect for implant frameworks and reduces secretions in the area of the prosthesis.
Restoration of the Dentition after Ablative Surgery
Head and neck cancer patients oen have extensive dental needs. Neglected dentition is com­mon, and when it is paired with either segmental or bony rim resection, it results in dental rehabilitation challenges. So and hard free-tissue reconstructive techniques can oen lead to bulky aps obstructing the dental envelope; however, they may also provide a foundation for osseointegrated implant rehabilitation.
A decision about the patient’s dentition needs to be made prior to surgery, and the patient should be given realistic expectations. Reduced tongue movement aer surgery can lead to functional problems that are challenging to address with conventional dental prostheses. Osseointegrated implants help to overcome these diculties.
Primary Dental Implant Placement
Installation of osseointegrated implants at the time of primary surgery helps provide eec­tive prosthetic rehabilitation within a reasonable time. e majority of patients complete their dental rehabilitation and demonstrate improvements in quality-of-life scores.
Primary dental implant placement is usually in conjunction with so-tissue reconstruction. Advances i n 3D planning so ware are beg inning to al low primar y planned implants i n compos­ite aps, but this approach is usually limited to benign rather than malignant reconstructions.

GRAFTS AND FLAPS IN HEAD AND NECK RECONSTRUCTION
Secondary Dental Implant Placement
For many patients, decisions about dental rehabilitation are best le until they are fully recovered from the eects of cancer treatment. Functional decits, patient motivation, and disease control all form part of the planning process. CT-based computerised tech­niques are used to assist planning for bony healing and osteosynthesis plates and screws. Computer soware can also be used to fabricate stereo lithic drilling guides for exact placement.
Management of the peri-implant so tissues is another important aspect of optimal oral rehabilitation. Reduction of excess tissue, refashioning of sulcal depth, and keratinised so-tissue graing can all be considered.
Implant Placement in Irradiated Jaws
Radiotherapy is a signicant risk factor for failure of dental implants. To improve implant survival, changes in implant design, 3D planning, and improved surgical techniques have been employed.

71. GRAFTS AND FLAPS IN HEAD AND NECK RECONSTRUCTION
Large defects with no tissue laxity for closure require gra or ap reconstruction.
A gra is tissue with no blood supply, and its survival depends on gaining a blood supply from the recipient bed. A ap is a piece of tissue with its own blood supply.
Principles
In planning, consider three key aspects of defects: What is missing? What is required? What is available?
e reconstructive ‘toolbox’ concept means picking the ideal reconstruction for a defect. Reconstructions consider ‘cosmetic subunits’ and ‘relaxed skin tension lines’ (RSTLs) for incisions.
Skin Grafts
Introduction
Gras are classied by composition (e.g. skin, fat, mucosa, cartilage, bone, or composite, such as a septal-mucosal gra). Skin gras are of two types: split-thickness skin gras (STSGs) or

Skin Graft Healing
Gra survival depends on gaining a blood supply from the recipient bed. is process is ‘take’. Take is aected by gra, recipient, and systemic factors. Gra factors include tissue thickness. Local factors include recipient bed vascularity (exposed bone and tendon and radiotherapy prevent take), bleeding, infection, and shearing. Potential systemic problems include smoking, poor nutrition, and diabetes.
Flaps
Principles
Flaps are indicated for extensive defects, exposed vital structures, poor vascularity, radio­therapy, and cosmesis.
Types
Flaps are named according to anatomy (e.g. blood supply or muscle for ap) or by the clas­sication shown in Table 71.2. Common aps discussed in this chapter are shown in bold type in the table..
Local Flaps
Consider defect, location, cosmetic units, and RSTLs when choosing ap.
Advancement Flaps
For single-pedicle ap, para llel incisions are adva nced on one side of defect (e.g. Rintala ap on nose). For bipedicle ap, parallel incisions are pedicled at either end and are raised in the cen­tre and ‘bucket-handled’ (e.g. tripier ap for eyelid). V-Y aps are raised as ‘V’, are advanced with a deep or lateral pedicle, and are closed as ‘Y’ (e.g. nasolabial ap for alar defect).
Pivot Flaps—Transposition Flaps
Rhomboid Flap
Rhomboid ap is random pattern. To create rhomboid shape around defect: note RSTLs, note LMEs (lines of maximal extensibility) parallel to this—these make two sides of the rhomboid—then draw two further parallel lines meeting the LME lines to make a rhomboid shape with all sides equal length, and two angles of 60° and two angles of 120°. From the 120° angles, drop a line equal in length to one side of the rhomboid. From this, draw a line paral­lel to the ap. Two options are available from each line, thereby giving a choice of four aps.

Bilobed Flap
A bilobed ap is a random pattern ap that consists of two transposition aps. Pivot point is 1 radius away, with axis via horizontal line through the defect. First ap is slightly smaller and adjacent to the defect, with axis 45° from pivot point of rst axis. Next ap is half the size of the rst and adjacent to it, with axis 90° from rst axis. e rst ap trans­poses to the primary defect, the second ap to the secondary defect, and the tertiary defect is closed directly.

GRAFTS AND FLAPS IN HEAD AND NECK RECONSTRUCTION
Pivot Flaps—Rotation Flaps
e primary defect is ‘triangulated’, and the ap is designed as a semicircle with the radius 3 times the arc length of the triangulated defect and the circumference 8 times the arc length of the defect. e pivot point is the distal part of the ap. Upon movement, a ‘back-cut’ may be needed for closure, which moves the pivot point toward the defect to reduce tension but decreases ap vascularity.
Locoregional Flaps
Nasolabial Flaps (NLF)
Background: First documented by Indian Sushruta in 600 BC. Transposition ap. Anatomy: Axial ap based on facial and angular artery; therefore, can be proximally or dis-
tally based. Width is 1–2 cm. Use: Proximally/superiorly based for nasal side wall and alar defects. Distally/inferiorly based
for alar/perialar defect, upper lip and commissure, and anterior oral cavity.
Advantages: Good colour match, inconspicuous donor scars in aesthetic junctions. Disadvantages: Blunt alar groove unless planned correctly, can be bulky, and, if short, pulls
up alar. Technique:
Plan: Base is determined by defect location. Plan length in reverse from pivot point.
Template defect on distal ap to check width and check that donor closes. Place incisions along aesthetic junction (i.e. nose/cheek junction, alar groove, naso-
labial fold). Procedure: Raise subc uta neous ap from tip to base. Transpose and inset and close donor.
For intraoral defects, a tunnel is placed traversing the facial muscles and buccinators.
Forehead Flaps (Paramedian)
Background: Original description by Indian Sushruta in 600 BC. Workhorse for nasal defect. Anatomy: Forehead is divided into 3 zones—paramedian, median, and lateral. Paramedian
is based on supratrochlear +/- supraorbital vessels.
Use: For external/internal nasal defects, eyelids/medial canthus, and midface reconstruction. Advantages: Good colour match, moderate size and thickness, potentially hairless, and
donor has good aesthetic result even with secondary intention healing. Disadvantages: Requires a minimum of two stages. Need correct design or nose contracts. Arc
of rotation and short forehead limit reach or are a problem if large aps are needed. One-stage solution includes dropping pivot point, accepting alopecia/ha iry reconstruction, or use of specic design (e.g. Millard ap). Two-stage options are rst-stage ‘delaying’ ap or tissue expansion.
Technique
Plan: Assess height of forehead. Find origin of supratrochlear artery (1 cm medial to
supraorbital foramen above midpoint of pupil). Line drawn vertically up is axis of ap. Plan pedicle length in reverse from pivot point and template defect on distal ap. Keep ‘extra’ 15% in pedicle length from pivot. Procedure: Incise around the ap and pedicle, raise ap distal to proximal in plane
under fronta lis, and 1 cm superior to the supraorbital ridge, go subperiosteal to protect the vessel. Rotate and inset ap into defect. Gra underside of pedicle for haemostasis. If unable to close donor, then dress. Flap is thinned +/ pedicle division at 3 weeks.
Distant Flaps
Pectoralis Major Flaps
Background: Previously workhorse, now used for salvage cases. Muscle or musculocutaneous (rarely osteomyocutaneous).
