Restoration of Oral Competence With Local Advancement Flap After Free-Flap Reconstruction
Restoring continuity of the orbicularis oris muscle is a critical functional and esthetic consideration in microvascular free flap reconstruction where the lip is involved or disrupted. However, when this cannot be achieved, restoration of the oral sphincter and oral commissure can be achieved with a secondary reconstructive procedure.
