Advances in tongue reconstruction after tumor removal focus on improving speech and swallowing. New and revisited surgical techniques aim to enhance patient quality of life following head and neck oncology procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Oncology
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Oral Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Tongue tumor resection presents significant reconstructive challenges in head and neck oncology.
  • Optimizing functional outcomes, including speech and swallowing, is paramount after tongue cancer surgery.
  • Maximizing patient quality of life is a key goal in tongue reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on advancements in tongue reconstruction techniques.
  • To identify emerging and refined strategies for post-tumor resection reconstruction.
  • To highlight trends in functional restoration and quality of life improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on tongue reconstruction.
  • Analysis of emerging and revisited reconstructive surgical options.

  • Evaluation of trends in flap selection and functional outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • New strategies include omohyoid musculocutaneous and myofascial flaps with radial forearm free flaps.
    • Revisited options like trapezius and pectoralis rotational flaps are being utilized.
    • A trend towards restoring flap innervation for improved function is noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Tongue cancer resection and reconstruction require careful surgical planning.
    • Knowledge of diverse reconstructive options is crucial for favorable functional results.
    • Focusing on reconstruction principles enhances postoperative function and quality of life.
