Submental Artery Island Flap in Oral Cavity Reconstruction.
Abstract
Submental island flap is an excellent choice for reconstruction a small to medium-sized soft tissues defects in the oral cavity. It provides a thin and flexibility tissues and versatility. This flap is safer in the patients with high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification risk scores, the patients with limited physiological reserve and the elder patients who are less tolerant to the sophisticated surgical procedures that take a long recovery time. It is characterized by the technical simplicity of flap raising. The blood vessels are reliable. This flap has a good color match to the defect. It can be done in combination with selective neck dissection. If the submental island flap is chosen in the right patient, it is safe to oncology and provide satisfactory outcomes. The complication rate is low. The costs of treatment and the length of hospital stay are reduced. The recurrence rate was found to be not significantly different when compared to the other methods of reconstruction.
