The reconstructive goals for a full thickness lower lip defect are to restore a functional oral
sphincter, replace mucosal and external skin, and maintain a functional size of the oral …

Background Large defects of the lower lip often require free tissue coverage.
Fasciocutaneous free flaps have been traditionally used, but innervated muscular free flaps …

Background Large defects of the lower lip pose a difficult challenge for any reconstructive
surgeon. When there is limited local tissue available to resurface the defects, free flaps are …

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate a chimeric flap comprising a nasolabial flap and a
buccal artery myomucosal flap used to reconstruct a large defect of the lower lip. Materials …

Lip reconstruction techniques have continued to become more sophisticated in order to
achieve better functional and cosmetic outcomes after resection. Several new local tissue …

Objectives: To investigate the effect and clinical value of the application of vacuum assisted
closure (VAC) combined with multiple flaps in the treatment of severe hand trauma …

Background: Total or near-total lip defects poses a serious challenge to a reconstructive
surgeon with static procedures not providing desired functional and aesthetic outcomes. The …

Purpose Defects involving total lower and/or upper lip often extend to intraoral and/or
perioral areas. Flaps based on superficial temporal artery, either as pedicled or free flaps …

Background: It is hardly to reconstruct a huge defect of lower lip by using of partial flap which
brings no mouth closing functional problem. In this study, we would like to introduce our …

Lower lip is an important anatomical unit in daily life activities, and its proper functional and
aesthetic reconstruction is crucial. In the literature, both locoregional and microsurgical flaps …
