The bilobed flap is a reliable means for the reconstruction of facial defects in one stage. This reconstruction technique has been applied on a 69-years-old man affected by carcinoma of the cheek, involving overhanging skin and underlying oral mucosa. Stensen's duct reconstruction was also performed with a vein graft and, 8 months later, deviation of the rima oris was corrected by inserting a goretex strip at the level of the upper lip elevator muscle. The present work considers the bilobed flap as a means for cheek defects reconstruction compared with other reconstruction techniques.

Abstract
The bilobed flap is a reliable means for the reconstruction of facial defects in one stage. This reconstruction technique has been applied on a 69-years-old man affected by carcinoma of the cheek, involving overhanging skin and underlying oral mucosa. Stensen's duct reconstruction was also performed with a vein graft and, 8 months later, deviation of the rima oris was corrected by inserting a goretex strip at the level of the upper lip elevator muscle. The present work considers the bilobed flap as a means for cheek defects reconstruction compared with other reconstruction techniques.File in questo prodotto:
