[The primary reconstruction of soft palate by intraoral buccal transposition flap]

A method for the primary reconstruction of soft palate after radical tumor excision is described. By combination of a cranial pedicled pharynx flaps and a cranial pedicled intraoral buccal transposition flap is it possible to close the resulting defect in a double layer. In additional resection of the combination of the method with a M. masseter-transposition flap is possible. By the method it is possible to have a satisfactory reconstruction of swallowing and speech functions with only small operative troubles.
