RECONSTRUCTION WITH MYOCUTANEOUS FLAP AFTER PARTIAL RESECTION OF LINGUAL CARCINOMA

A method of reconstruction for lingual carcinoma after 1/2 or 2/3 resection of the tongue was described on 10 cases. Myocutaneous flap of M. pectoralis major or M. sternocleidomastoideus was used for this study. As compared with the D-P flap which was used as the ordinal surgical operation, the meth...

Summary:A method of reconstruction for lingual carcinoma after 1/2 or 2/3 resection of the tongue was described on 10 cases. Myocutaneous flap of M. pectoralis major or M. sternocleidomastoideus was used for this study. As compared with the D-P flap which was used as the ordinal surgical operation, the method of myocutaneous flap was discussed on operative procedures, complications and post-operative functions. It was found that the method of myocutaneous flap was of great advantage to the follows; 1) Defective portions in the oral cavity and or opharynx was constructed primarily. 2) Transplantation of delay or free graft was not necessary. 3) It was a good method to prevent of post-operative salivary fistula or to hasten its natural closing. 4) As the floor of the oral cavity was kept in higher level, that disorders of speech or eating were reduced.
