Long-term outcomes associated with short-term surgical missions treating complex head and neck disfigurement in Ethiopia: A retrospective cohort study ?

摘要

Background: Long-term follow-up after short-term reconstructive missions is challenging, often due to financial constraints, remote geography and lack of post-operative communication with patients. The aim of this study was to conduct long-term follow-up of patients who have undergone surgery for complex facial disfigurement in Ethiopia.
