How Postoperative Reconstruction (Local/Free Flap or Immediate Palatal Obturator) is performed
Reconstruction can be achieved through immediate palatal obturator, local flap, or free flap. A common approach is to take intraoral impressions and perform 3D design based on the extent of the defect, or to perform flap shaping and suture to the recipient area under general anesthesia, with microvascular anastomosis if necessary. Postoperative attention is paid to hemostasis, flap blood supply, or obturator tightness, and gradual adjustment and speech/swallowing training are performed, with the goal of reconstructing the oronasal separation and improving eating and pronunciation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
