Biography: Eleftherios Ioannidis
Abstract
This presentation will cover a number of flaps used in facial reconstruction after cancer surgery. All cases are from my practice and have been performed under local anaesthesia alone. All details of the procedure will be presented and discussed. The principles of rotation, transposition and advancement flaps will be presented along with factors that determine the choice of each flap. The intricacies of performing procedures around the eyes, the mouth and on the nose will be further discussed. Some cases require the combination of more than one flap. Hints and tips will be shared from my personal experience and from bibliography. More than one option is often available and the subject allows for an interesting discussion to take place afterwards.
