Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Full-thickness lip defects can result from congenital conditions like cleft lip, trauma, or oncologic ablation.
  • Reconstruction is crucial for restoring both aesthetic appearance and functional integrity of the lips.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss and outline reconstructive strategies for full-thickness lower and upper lip defects.
  • To emphasize the importance of pre-operative planning for elective lip reconstruction, particularly after cancer surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established surgical techniques for lip defect reconstruction.
  • Focus on pre-planned, elective reconstruction for oncologic defects of regular shape.

Main Results:

  • Successful reconstruction of full-thickness lip defects is achievable through meticulous surgical planning.
  • Elective reconstruction allows for more predictable outcomes compared to traumatic injuries.

Conclusions:

  • Precise planning is paramount for successful elective lip reconstruction after oncologic ablation.
  • Reconstructive techniques should be tailored to the specific defect size and location for optimal results.
