Abstract:
Advances in reconstructive surgery allow treatment of established cases of Cancrum oris with total ankylosis of the jaws to produce a satisfactory functional and cosmetic result. This is achieved by radical excision of scar tissue followed by two layered flap closure of the defect. It is recommended that a cervical flap is used for lining and a deltopectoral flap for cheek cover. Ten patients with Cancrum oris are presented to demonstrate the techniques used.
