Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Mucormycosis or black fungus raised to infamy during the COVID-19 epidemic all over the world with disastrous consequences including death. Those who survived were left with complex deformities mostly involving the head-and-neck region. We through this article would like to present our experience of management of head-and-neck defects in patients of mucormycosis both in acute and delayed presentations using microvascular free flap reconstruction.
