Mark K. Wax, M.D., FACS, FRCS, is a Senior Professor at Oregon Health & Science University. A leading expert in head and neck surgery, his research focuses on reconstructive microsurgery, free flap failure management, and advanced techniques such as flow-through flaps and scapular free flap reconstruction with immediate dental implantation. His recent work also explores soft tissue augmentation post-parotidectomy and the integration of virtual reality and wearable devices in postoperative care. He has published extensively on anticoagulation protocols and microvascular outcomes, contributing significantly to plastic and reconstructive surgery.
