  • Title: Reconstruction of full-thickness defects of the cheek in cancer surgery.
    Author: Papachristou DN, Valinos P, Skandalakis P, Sechas M.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1987 Oct; 53(10):592-5. PubMed ID: 3674603.
    Abstract:
    Two techniques are presented that can be used for reconstruction of full-thickness defects of the cheek. Defects involving a small area of mucosa can be reconstructed with an anteriorly based neck-pectoral skin flap in combination with primary closure of the mucosa. Defects involving a large part of the mucosa can be managed with a deltopectoral flap in combination with a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. The two techniques have been applied with satisfactory results in a group of patients with neoplasms of the cheek.
