Oncologic Outcomes of Prosthetic Obturator Compared with Free Flap Reconstruction after Maxillectomy for Maxillary Sinus Malignancies
Obturator and free flap reconstruction showed comparable survival after maxillectomy for maxillary sinus malignancies. Resection margin status and postoperative adjuvant therapy were the major prognostic factors, underscoring individualized reconstruction and the importance of adequate margins, appropriate adjuvant treatment, and consistent follow-up.
