    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Head and Neck Cancer

    Background:

    • Oral cavity defects following tumor resection pose significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Forehead flaps are a viable option for reconstruction, but pedicle management can be complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified forehead flap technique for oral cavity reconstruction.
    • To present a method for simplifying pedicle retrieval during reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a forehead flap for reconstruction of the oral cavity post-tumor resection.
    • Employed a sub-zygomatic route for flap passage to the oral cavity.
    • Incorporated a Teflon or Silastic sheet over raw flap surfaces within a cheek tunnel to aid pedicle retrieval.

    Main Results:

    • The described modification facilitates easier and potentially safer retrieval of the forehead flap pedicle.
    • This technique aims to improve the efficiency of reconstructive procedures in the oral cavity.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified forehead flap technique offers a practical solution for oral cavity reconstruction.
    • The use of a protective sheet over the flap pedicle simplifies its management and retrieval.
