Dr. Stefan Rössler’s research centers on clinically oriented translational anatomy and regenerative medicine in oral and maxillofacial surgery. His work integrates experimental models, anatomical dissection, and evidence-based analysis to improve reconstructive outcomes. A key contribution is the systematic evaluation of in vivo models for hypertrophic scarring, assessing their translational relevance and proposing standardized criteria to enhance reproducibility and clinical applicability. In parallel, his anatomical studies focus on facial nerve mapping, particularly the masseteric nerve as a donor for facial reanimation. Through detailed cadaveric dissections, his research provides precise anatomical guidance, supporting safer nerve transfer techniques and improved functional recovery in facial paralysis.
