Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) remains a difficult clinical problem. In large refractory cases surgery appears to be the only option but it does not guarantee a cure and is expensive. Cost analysis of 31 patients who had resection with or without reconstruction of their mandible was £892,357. The largest cost was in-patient stay, which accounted for 62% of the total. This article explores in detail the expenditure associated with major ORN surgery and its subsequent implications.Entities:
