Abstract

Various cutaneous as well as myocutaneous flaps have been designed for the reconstruction of tissue defects caused by the excision of oral cancer. Among these flaps, cervical island skin flap have been introduced by Farr et al and more have developed by Tashiro et al. This flap has many advantages. The flap minimizes donor size by use of cervical operation wound, flap size available is adequate for most oral defects and the procedure is relatively simple and time saving. However, this flap is not applicable in patients where there are large tissue defects and metastasis is suspected. We used this flap for it's rapid, simple, and effective, primary closure of oral defects after cancer ablation and we have found this flap very useful for the reconstruction of relatively small oral defects.
