Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncologic Reconstruction

Background:

  • The submental flap is a fasciocutaneous flap utilized in head and neck reconstruction.
  • This study evaluates its indications and outcomes based on clinical experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the indications and outcomes of submental flap reconstruction.
  • To assess the efficacy of the submental flap in orofacial reconstruction following oncologic resections.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective descriptive study of 14 patients.
  • Submental flap reconstruction performed after oncologic resections in the orofacial region.

Main Results:

  • The submental flap was used for various defects including tongue, maxilla, palate, and cheek.
  • Satisfactory oral cavity opening was achieved in all patients.
  • No metastatic lymph node transfer to the recipient area was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The submental flap offers a shorter surgical time compared to microvascular flaps.
  • Neck lymph node surgery does not contraindicate submental flap use.
  • Meticulous dissection minimizes the risk of tumor transfer.
