[Modification of a technic of reconstruction after total or subtotal resection of the lower lip]

It has been shown that two different kinds of modification are able to improve Meyer's operation after subtotal or total ablation of the lower lip. Either a flap taken from the top of the tongue or the Estlander-Abbé's triangular flap can be used in the intention of widening the new lip and consequently avoiding an excess of tension of it.
