Functional and cosmetic defects involving the maxillofacial complex may result from traumatic injury, developmental deformities, infections, and iatrogenic injury. Reconstruction of large segmental defects with the use of vascularized free flaps has been considered the gold standard in recent years. There are many logistical and economic considerations with vascularized free flaps, and therefore the authors aim to discuss an alternative. After appropriate patient selection, the use of non-vascularized reconstruction techniques has been shown to be effective. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
