N2 - Oncologic resection involving the midface results in potentially disfiguring and challenging defects for the reconstructive surgeon. As with any defect, restoration of form and function is critical, but is particularly difficult in the midface, which is paramount to a patient's physical appearance and identify, as well as the patient's ability to breath, speak, see, and eat. Here, we present an algorithmic approach for optimizing outcomes in midfacial reconstruction utilizing the state-of-the-art reconstructive techniques.
