- Abstract
The principles of reconstructive surgery of the maxillofacial region must ensure a good functional result, but also a cosmetic outcome that recreates the natural lines of the face. A great care must be taken by the surgeon in the case of lip defects following tumor pathology due to their importance in the facial harmony. Although there are various well defined procedures for facial reconstruction, local flaps still play a highly significant role due to the ease of harvesting and the good adaptation at the recipient site. Functional evaluation was undertaken in all patients at 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months postoperative. The recovery is faster than for distant site flaps, and the surgical procedure can be performed on patients with comorbidities.
