Abstract

Oral cancer is a common disease in head and neck cancer with a delayed clinical detection in situ. Surgery is the main method of treatment for oral cancer. Tumor resection left a large defect in face units such as cheek, lips, oral floor, tongue... Reconstructing these defects without appropriate strategy leading to unexpected results and regress the life quality of patients. Reconstruction the anatomy and funtion of face units is the priority of plastic surgeon. The chimeric anterolateal thigh free flap has several advantages to become the best material to reconstruct oral defects. Our report describe the characteristics of oral defect after tumor resection and reconstruction strategy with the chimeric anterolateal thigh free flap in a case report.
