Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Oral cavity carcinomas frequently involve the lips, necessitating surgical resection.
  • Lip tissue loss following resection requires reconstruction to restore form and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established and emerging techniques for lip reconstruction after tumor ablation.
  • To guide surgeons in selecting the most appropriate reconstruction method based on defect characteristics and patient factors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of accepted and novel lip reconstruction techniques.
  • Analysis of factors influencing reconstruction method selection, including defect size, location, tissue elasticity, patient age, comorbidities, and motivation.

Main Results:

  • Primary closure is suitable for defects <30% of the lip.
  • Various flaps (Karapandzic, Abbe, Estlander, McGregor, Gillies, Webster, Bernard) are effective for moderate defects (35-70%).
  • Free flaps (Deltopectoral, radial forearm) are options for extensive defects involving the jaws.

Conclusions:

  • The choice of lip reconstruction technique depends on a comprehensive assessment of defect and patient variables.
  • Surgeons must stay abreast of innovations to provide optimal functional and aesthetic results in lip defect reconstruction.
