Abstract:
In this article a new method of closing palatal defects by means of buccal fat pad flaps is reported. A double buccal fat pad flap in association with Le Fort I osteotomy approach was adopted to remove tumours of the palate and nasal fossae. The technique is described in a case of adenocarcinoma arising from the nasal septum and its indications and advantages are discussed.
