Reconstruction in early squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity—Do free flaps improve oncological outcome?
In a standardized setting, mean surgery time could be reduced constantly. We propose consistent tumor ablation, combined with elective neck dissection and microvascular reconstruction in early oral squamous cell carcinoma. The presented concept leads to excellent oncological and functional results with acceptable morbidity and short surgery times.
