Surgical resection of the mandible due to presence of benign or malignant tumor is the most common cause of the mandibular deviation. Depending upon the location and extent of the tumor in the mandible, various surgical treatment modalities like marginal, segmental, hemi, subtotal, or total mandibulectomy can be performed. The clinicians must wait for extensive period of time for completion of healing and acceptance of the osseous graft before considering the definitive prosthesis. During this initial healing period prosthodontic intervention is required for preventing the mandibular deviation. This case report describes early prosthodontic management of a patient who has undergone a reconstructed hemi-mandibulectomy with modified mandibular guide flange prosthesis. The prosthesis helps patient moving the mandible normally without deviation during functions like speech and mastication.

During a ten-year period from August, 1978 to September, 1989 45 patients with benign esophageal stricture were surgically evaluated. The results are as follows; l. Out of 45 patients, there were 26 males and 19 females ranging from 2 to 70 years of age with a mean of 31.9 years. 2. The most common cause of benign esophageal stricture was corrosive burn due to caustic agents[40 cases, 88.9 %]. Corrosive agents were 15 cases of lye, 22 cases of acid and 3 cases of other agents. Other causes were two cases of esophageal web and each one case of previous surgical result, inflammation and idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis respectively. 3. The most frequent stricture site was whole esophagus as 21 cases[46.7 %] and the next was lower a third thoracic esophagus[10 cases, 25.0%]. 4. In 33 of total 45 cases, colon interposition with right colon was performed without resection of the strictured esophagus except one case which was complicated esophageal cancer. Other procedures were 4 cases esophagogastrostomy with segmental resection, 2 cases of plastic repair and so on. 5. Major postoperative complications which were needed for secondary operation were 5 cases[11.1 %]. [2 cases of stenosis, ileus and ulcer bleeding respectively] Overall mortality rate was 4.4 %.

Leiomyoma is extremely rare benign tumor of the trachea. A case of leiomyoma of the trachea is described in a 36-year-old man. The patient had a brief history of asthma-like symptoms. Computed tomography of the chest revealed the ovoid lower trachea mass, which was occupying about 80% of the tracheal lumen. At fiberoptic bronchoscopy highly vascularized round mass was seen on the membranous portion of the lower trachea. The tumor was excised by segmental sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and bronchoscopic findings showed clear healing of the anastomotic site.

Segmental resection or wedge resection of the lung and direct cutting across of bronchi frequently results in postoperative airleaks or bronchopleural fistula in some cases. Many methods have been devised to handle air leak problems by oversuturing the raw edges, the application of pleural onlay flaps, the use of cautery or tissue adhesives, but these still has not solved the problem of air leaking from raw surfaces of the lung with only partial successful we have tried the use of histoacryl to closure the raw surface of the resected lung and compared it’s results with of the closure with chromic catgut sutures in cats from May 1989 to Jan. 1990 at the department of the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Yonsei University, College of Medicine. Ninety lobe of the lungs were used in this study and forty nine of which have been divided segmentally and closed with histoacryl on the raw surfaces. Forty one of which have been divided segmentally and closed with sutures using chromic catgut for control. There were air leakages in twelve cases among 49 cases with applying histoacryl and airleak were in two cases among 12 cases with reapply histoacryl, But there were air leak in two cases among 41 cases with sutures using chromic catgut and airleak were in one case among with resutures using chromic catgut.

Bronchoplastic procedure has been considered as an appropriate surgery for traumatic bronchial disruption and occasionaly for primary bronchial tumors or tuberculosis because it can bring preservation of pulmonary tissue for patients without compromising the chance for cure. Nowadays bronchoplastic procedure is also applicable for the selected cases of bronchogenic carcinomas with favorable long term survival, when compared to standard pneumonectomy.Eighteen bronchoplastic procedures were performed with or without pulmonary resection at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic University Medical College, between 1990 and 1994. The patients were 11 men and 7 wemen with average age of 57 years [range, 19 to 71 years . Tumor comprised 56% of the lesions, including 6 squamous cell carcinoma [33% , 2 bronchial adenoma [11% , 1 leiomyoma and 1 metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Cicatrical stenosis secondary to endobronchial tuberculosis and traumatic disruption occurred in 6 [33% and 1 patient respectively.Applied bronchoplastic procedures were as follows ; sleeve lobectomy, 8 cases [right upper : 6, left upper : 1, right middle : 1 : bronchial segmental resection without pulmonary resection, 2 cases : sleeve bi-lobectomy, 1 cases :patch dilating bronchoplasty with or without concomitant lobectomy in 7. There was no perioperative mortality. Morbidity in 4 patients included 1 transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, 1 unstability of bronchial patch resulting atelectasis of afftected lung and 2 bronchial stenosis of anastomotic site.Throughout our experiences, we feel strongly that bronchoplastic procedure is a safe and effective surgical method preserving normal pulmonary tissue below affected bronchus for the wide range of various bronchial lesion including selected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma with acceptable complication and mortality.

Computer-aided surgery (CAS) started being used for head and neck reconstruction in the late 2000s. Its use represented a paradigm shift, changing the concept of head and neck reconstruction as well as mandible reconstruction. Reconstruction using CAS proceeds through 4 phases: planning, modeling, surgery, and evaluation. Thus, it can overcome a number of trial-and-error issues which may occur in the operative field and reduce surgical time. However, if it is used for oncologic surgery, it is difficult to evaluate tumor margins during tumor surgery, thereby restricting pre-surgical planning. Therefore, it is dangerous to predetermine the resection margins during the presurgical phase and the variability of the resection margins must be taken into consideration. However, it allows for the preparation of a prebending plate and planning of an osteotomy site before an operation, which are of great help. If the current problems are resolved, its applications can be greatly extended.

Objectives: Non-vascularized iliac crest bone graft (NVIBG) is a known treatment option in mandibular reconstruction following jaw resection, but no documented review of patients treated with NVIBG exists for northern Nigeria. The experience and technique from a Nigerian tertiary hospital may serve as baseline data for comparison and improvement of practice for other institutions. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of medical records and patient case files from January 2012 to December 2013 was undertaken. All case files and other medical records of patients who had reconstruction with NVIBG for benign or malignant lesions with immediate or delayed reconstruction were selected for review. Results: Twenty patients had mandibular reconstruction with NVIBG during the study period. Two patients were excluded because of incomplete medical records. Eighteen patients' (male=14, female=4) records were reviewed. Their ages ranged from 13 to 62 years (mean $26.0{\pm}10.6years$). Indications for NVIBG included jaw tumors (n=16; 88.3%), jaw cyst (n=1; 5.6%) and gunshot injury (n=1; 5.6%). Jaw tumors seen were ameloblastoma (n=15; 83.3%) and osteosarcoma (n=1; 5.6%). Treatments done were mandibular resection with condylar resection (n=7; 38.9%), mandibular segmental resection (n=10; 55.6%) and subtotal mandibulectomy (n=1; 5.6%). Patients' postoperative reviews and radiographs revealed good facial profile and continued bone stability up to 1 year following NVIBG. Conclusion: NVIBGs provide an acceptable alternative to vascularized bone grafts, genetically engineered bone, and distraction osteogenesis for mandibular reconstruction in resource-limited centers.
