Abstract

Complications after surgical oncological treatment and irradiation such as impaired growth of the facial skeleton, orbitoethmoid fistulae and others are an important problem for the patient's further fate. For their elimination collaboration of the ophthalmologist and maxillofacial or plastic surgeon is essential as various reconstruction procedures must be used some of which are mentioned in the paper. Some procedures are demonstrated on three patients where osteotomies of the orbit and implantations of bone grafts were performed as well as transplantation of vascularized tissues and skin flaps. In all mentioned patients marked improvement was recorded.
