Reconstruction of the oral cavity after obliterative surgery for cancer
Abstract:
Simple and reliable methods for reconstruction of the oral cavity after obliterative surgery for carcinoma include (1) nasolabial cheek flaps, (2) hemiforehead and total forehead flaps, and (3) temporal island flaps. In general, the nasolabial flap is sufficient for resurfacing areas of the oral cavity anterior to the second molar tooth, while the temporal island flap provides satisfactory coverage posterior to this area. The forehead flap, which is very durable and reliable, is reserved for reconstruction of the more massive defects. Technics and use of each reconstructive procedure are described.
