Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2015
Facial dehiscence elicit high morbidity and mortality. This complication may arise in more than 8.5% of high-risk patients. Addressing risk factors and optimizing surgical technique are guarded as mainstay measures for prevention, but their efficacy is questionable.
