Anaesthesia for Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in a Patient with a Major Facial Defect and Restricted Mouth Opening: A Case Report
2013
Perioperative airway management in
patients with oro-facial cancers who has undergone chemo/or radiotherapy poses
a great challenge to the anaesthesiologist. These challenges are mainly due to
either a mass in the oral cavity or a limited mouth opening making intubation
difficult or a major facial defect making mask ventilation difficult. We present
our first time experience in a 27-year-old man with a
malignant lymphoma of the right cheek who had undergone chemotherapy and needed plastic surgery to
restore the face.
