BackgroundThe submental artery island flap (SIF) is a valid option for palatal reconstruction. However, the main limitation for its application for palatal defects is the arc of rotation. A novel modification for tunneling of the antegrade design of SIF that allows a compliant easy reach to the defect is described.MethodsEighteen patients with Brown class II maxillectomy defects were included. Reconstruction started using reversed flow SIF in five patients then shifted to the modified antegrade technique in the remaining patients. Speech, swallowing, chewing, other parameters, and oncological outcomes were assessed.ResultsThe reversed flow group has high complications. In the antegrade SIF group, all flaps survived. One developed marginal flap necrosis that healed spontaneously. The follow‐up period ranged from 1 to 4.2 years with favorable functional outcome and with no evidence of recurrence.ConclusionThe modified SIF antegrade design is a reliable option for palate reconstruction that allows favorable functional and oncological outcome.
