BIPADDLED SUBMENTAL FLAP FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF FULL-THICKNESS DEFECTS OF THE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION AFTER RADICAL TUMOR RESECTION. CASE REPORT
Reconstruction of full-layer defects of the maxillofacial region is a difficult task, since it involves the formation of internal and external lining of the defect. This requires either two different flaps or a double layered regional flap or a free graft. When using free grafts, patients may not be able to tolerate a long-term operation due to old age or concomitant diseases. The article presents the results of using of bipaddled submental flap to restore both the skin and the mucous membrane of the defect. The operation is simple, and its time is much shorter than free flap reconstruction. This modified use of the submental flap simplifies the reconstruction of a complex oro-facial defect.
