Abstract

Facial reconstruction is commonly performed after major ablative cancer surgery of the head and neck region in an attempt to provide improved function and esthetics. Poly-L-Lactide (PLA) is one such polymer presently under investigation because it is bioreasonable and will allow x-ray penetration for postsurgical radiotherapy. The authors conclude that the tumor cell growth inhibiting effects of PLA may be beneficial to cancer patients reconstructed utilizing polylactide plates or sutures, and that metallic plates do not appear to enhance epithelial tumor cell growth.
