Reconstruction of Partial Glossectomy with Innervated Lateral Forearm Flap

Christopher M.K.L. Yao, Rene D. Largo

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The reconstructive options for partial glossectomy defects include doing nothing, primary closure, using synthetic skin substitute, skin grafting, regional pedicled flaps, and free flap reconstruction. With the goal of minimizing scaring, optimizing tongue mobility for articulation and swallowing, a thin, pliable free flap provides the best outcomes. This case represents an early stage oral cavity tongue cancer requiring extirpation followed by free flap reconstruction.
