Abstract
|
|
|
Resection of the buccal mucosa carcinoma usually resulted in full thickness defect of the cheek. Full-thickness
defect of the cheek present a unique challenge to the reconstructive surgeon because of the simultaneous need
for lining and cober. Although various methods, including split-thickness skin graft, local flap, regional flap as
well as musulocutaneous flap have been described for reconstructing massive defect of cheek, these procedures
have caused considerable aesthetic problem and functional morbidity of donor site. With the advent of
microvascular sugrgical techniques, restoration of form and function is now acceptable. In recent years, we
experienced a case of full-thickness defects of the cheek after resection of buccal mucosa cancer, which was
successfully reconstructed by fold ed free radial forearm flap.
