Primary Outcome Measures:
- Reconstruction tissular at carrier patients of a loss of substance of the median third(third party) of the face having taken the totality of lips with or
without the nasal pyramid; or of a loss of substance taking the totality of 4 eyelids. [ Time Frame: during the study ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To evaluate the potential benefit of such a transplantation in term of quality of life [ Time Frame: during the study ]
- To measure the impact of this improvement [ Time Frame: during the study ]
- To measure the impact of a immunosuppressive treatment for a pathology which is not vital [ Time Frame: during the study ]
- To evaluate Acute Graft rejection using skin and mucosa biopsies:
function of the lips and or eyelids
mobility and function of the orbicularis muscles
Quality of life
the psychiatric and psychological evaluations [ Time Frame: at in the following days weeks and month after surgery ]
Most facial defects can be reconstructed with autologous tissues using standard plastic surgical techniques. However, when the circular facial muscles (eg. orbicularis oculi and orbicularis oris) are destroyed by burns, ballistic traumas, tumors, or congenital deformities there are no conventional surgical solutions. The study was designed following the advice of the French National Ethics Advisory Committee for life sciences and health (CCNE). The objectives are to study the feasibility and efficacy of face CTA transplantation, functional results, and influence on quality-of-life, as well as the management of immunosuppression. . s
