Objective: Topographic and blood vessel architecture study of the parietal area and distal regional pool of the superficial temporal artery (STA) to assess the possibility of revascularized cranium vault bone autograft formation., Material and Methods: For the topographic and anatomical study, 30 non-fixed corpses (17 male and 13 female) were selected, the average age of which was 59±5 years. In the anamnesis and catamnesis, there were no indications of trauma or other pathology of the head and neck, including vascular. STA was contrasted with a non-radiocontrast dye (brilliant green) with the introduction of the dye into the STA with preliminary ligation of the frontal branch of the STA. The area of blood supply to soft tissue and bone structures was studied. The angioarchitectonics of the parietal region was studied, the feeding vessel of the studied flap was identified., Results: The obtained anatomical landmarks for the collection of CPFP flap make it possible to form a flap with high accuracy and minimize the morbidity of the donor area.

Objective: Development of a method for reconstruction of the inferior alveolar nerve and evaluation of its effectiveness in resection of the lower jaw for benign tumors., Material and Methods: In the period from 2018 to 2020, 10 resections were performed for benign odontogenic neoplasms (myxoma, ameloblastoma, osteoblastoclastoma) at the age of 18 to 60 years. Tactile, pain and temperature sensitivity were subjectively studied. The assessment of subjective sensitivity was carried out five times: before the operation, after 21 days, after 3.6 months and a year after the operation, an electromyograph «SYNAPSIS» was used for an objective assessment of sensitivity. The studies were conducted twice: 21 days after the operation and 12 months later. Reinervation was carried out by two methods. Method I: by transferring the insertion from the calf nerve and applying end-to-end neuroanastomoses between the proximal and distal ends of the inferior alveolar nerve (5 patients); method II: transferring the insertion from the calf nerve to the lingual nerve. Neuroanastomoses are applied periepineurally between the distal end of the inferior alveolar nerve and the lingual nerve «end to side» (5 patients)., Results: After 12 months, all types of sensitivity were restored in the control group in all patients, and in the second group in 80%. All patients had areas of hyposthesia in terms of temperature and tactile sensitivity. The results of trigeminal evoked potentials were negative in all patients 21 days after surgery, and peaks of evoked potentials were recorded in 9 (90%) patients 12 months later., Conclusion: These reconstruction techniques are effective both when the proximal end of the inferior alveolar nerve is preserved, and when it is impossible to preserve it. With minimal donor damage, the sensitivity of the lower lip is restored, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients and their social adaptation.
