Nasolabial and extended nasolabial flaps for reconstruction in oral submucous fibrosis

Abstract: ObjectivesThe objective of the study was to evaluate the results of nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps as a modality for treatment of oral submucous fibrosis.Materials and MethodsEleven patients of Stage III or IVa maximum interincisal opening were selected to be operated. Nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps were done for both the sides. All of the flaps were done in a single stage and were inferiorly based. A similar flap harvest/surgical technique was utilized for all the cases.ResultsThe preoperative mou… Show more

“…24 The width of the flap base, similar to the study by Qayyum et al was approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm to ensure an adequate blood supply. 20 Narrower based flaps may compromise blood flow, while wider based flaps can be challenging to rotate into position. 1 To facilitate transfer, a transbuccal tunnel, with a size of 1.5 to 2 cm to accommodate 1 or 2 fingers comfortably, was created at the posterior biting margin, allowing tension-free movement into the oral cavity.…”

“…15,16,17 The nasolabial flap can be based superiorly or inferiorly depending on the vascularity required and is suitable for reconstructing defects in the cheek, nose, lips, and intraoral region. [18][19][20] The current case study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the nasolabial flap in the surgical treatment of oral submucous fibrosis.…”
