Abstract | Various methods of reconstruction are available for reconstructing oral cancer defects, but all of them have their inherent drawbacks. The superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap is a common reconstruction option for intra-oral defects following oral cancer resections. We present our results of using platysmal flaps in reconstructing intraoral defects following oral cavity cancer resection in our 7 patients along with resection of three cases of premalignant conditions of oral cavity. All the patients were males of age ranging from 24 to 42 years and diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity stage I and II were included in this study.Of 10 patients eight had no postoperative complications. One patient developed partial skin loss of neck donor site, which was managed conservatively. Other patient had complete flap loss which healed with secondary intention. We recommend this flap as incision is always away from the face, the scars are hidden beneath collars and the patients are very comfortable with good cosmetics and functional outcomes.\. |
