Abstract
Fourteen patients were treated for intraoral epidermoid carcinoma with a single stage reconstructive technic employing a myocutaneous flap based upon the platysma muscle. This flap carries on its distal tip a portion of isolated cervical skin to be used for intraoral replacement of the resected tissue. The flap has proved to be highly reliable and has significant benefits over many other technics commonly employed for head and neck reconstruction.Entities:
