Therapies and Procedures

1.	Radiotherapy 08/01/2021 - "Preoperative radiation therapy or chemotherapy increased the odds of incisional dehiscence or oral fistula formation (OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.3 to 7.2). " 01/01/2012 - "Oral fistula (OAF) is a pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus which has its origin either from iatrogenic complications or from dental infections, osteomyelitis, radiation therapy or trauma. "

"
3.	Mandibular Reconstruction 06/01/2016 - "The use of a separate muscle around the scapular bone in mandibular reconstruction is associated with a lower risk of oral fistulas."
4.	Mandibular Osteotomy 08/01/2021 - "Compared with mandibulectomy, performing maxillectomy increased the risk for incisional dehiscence or oral fistula formation. " 08/01/2021 - "Additionally, undergoing maxillectomy, compared with mandibulectomy, increased the odds of incisional dehiscence or oral fistula formation (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1 to 3.1). "
