  • Title: One-stage reconstruction of a defect of the oral commissure and of the cheek with a radial forearm free flap.
    Author: Valentini V, Saltarel A, Cassoni A, Battisti A, Egidi S.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2008 Nov; 19(6):1508-11. PubMed ID: 19098540.
    Abstract:
    Several reconstructive methods have been proposed for complex clinical cases. These methods are based on composite graft tissue flaps which allow to obtain modest aesthetic-functional results. Only recently, revascularized flaps (fasciocutaneous free flap of radial) have been used. In this work, the authors present a clinical report of cheek mucosal carcinoma extended to the omolateral lip commissure, which has required the full thickness removal of the cheek, the lip commissure, and part of both lips; the use of a bileft free fasciocutaneous flap of radial (to reconstruct with a single flap both the cutaneous and mucosal deficits) has allowed for adequate reconstruction with good aesthetic and functional results.
