Evaluation of sensibility of non-innervated, intraoral, microsurgically transferred flaps”
Activation of the cortical area representing the lingual nerve upon stimulation of the flap site implies that sensory recovery of microvascular free flaps in the tongue and mouth floor region involves nerve ingrowth from the remaining lingual nerve into the flap tissue.
