Introduction: Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers not only in India but also in South Asia. Treatment of oral cancer is not only limited to cure but also requires good reconstruction of the surgical defects for a better quality of the life. There are many well-proven options for reconstruction purposes for the defects of the oral cavity including local regional flaps to microvascular-free flaps. After resections of mobile parts of the tongue (up to 50%) speech and swallowing are impaired significantly, however, even after sophisticated plastic reconstruction, serious swallowing and speech problems persist. Material and Methods: The pilot study was carried out after the allocation of fourteen patients with carcinoma of the tongue into two treatment test groups; the Radial forearm flap (RFF) and Infrahyoid neuromuscular flap (IHF) group to evaluate and compare the treatment outcome for reconstruction using two different treatment modalities. The pilot study was carried out after the allocation of fourteen patients with carcinoma of the tongue into two treatment test groups. the clinical parameters likewise swallowing reflex, speech analysis, donor site complication, time taken for the surgery, and cost-effectiveness of the flap was evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows software, 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA). The data were numerically coded and entered into the program. Both the descriptive statistics and the inferential statistics involving one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Post Hoc test were analyzed to compare both intergroup and intragroup comparisons at different time intervals. Results: The swallowing and aspiration analysis showed a highly statistically significant difference at 3 months and 6 months by Post Hoc test between the groups. The speech analysis scores at all intervals were not statistically significant while for tongue movements the results were significant. The time taken and expenditure for surgery by IHF were less in comparison to RFF. Conclusion: The infrahyoid flap is a quick, easy, and reliable reconstructive method, which is cost-effective when used with knowledge of its clinical utility and limitations, the functional results are excellent with great patient satisfaction.

Introduction: The infrahyoid flap is a pedicled flap with a simple harvesting technique. It may be an alternative for free flaps in elderly or patients with multiple comorbidities. This article evaluates 15 patients submitted to reconstruction of head and neck defects. Case report: Case series of patients submitted to infrahyoid flap reconstruction in a referral center. We evaluate surgical and functional outcomes associated with reconstruction with infrahyoid flap from November of 2013 to May of 2017. Conclusion: Infrahyoid flap is a thin and flexible flap with low rates of complications and does not require another surgical team. The majority of the patients had complete functional rehabilitation. Keywords: Reconstructive Surgical Procedures. Myocutaneous Flap. Surgical Flaps. Head and Neck Neoplasms.

“…① Comparison of clinical symptom scores: symptoms included insomnia, nausea and vomiting, pain, fatigue, and diarrhea and were rated (on a 0-100 scale) by reference to the visual analogue scale (VSA) for pain, with lower scores indicating less symptoms ② Comparison of CR: complications included incision infection, necrosis of skin flap, wound bleeding, and stress ulcer ③ Comparison of UW-QOL scores: the score was rated based on the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) of head and neck cancer patients on a scale of 0-100, with lower scores indicating worse quality of life [8][9][10][11] ④ Investigation on factors affecting patients' quality of life, which was carried out by self-designed questionnaire ⑤ Comparison of negative emotion scores of patients after intervention. The scores (on a scale of 0-100) of patients' self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were compared, with higher scores indicating heavier negative emotion [12][13][14][15] 2.6.

Objective. To explore the effects of different repair and reconstruction methods combined with psychological intervention on the quality of life and negative emotion of patients with oral cancer. Methods. 180 patients with oral cancer treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were randomly divided into group A, group B, and group C, with 60 cases in each group. Group A and group B were repaired with submental island flap and free flap, respectively. Group C was divided into two groups, and group C was treated with routine nursing intervention. Group A and group B received psychological intervention. Clinical symptom scores, complication rate (CR), quality of life (according to the University of Washington quality of life questionnaire, UW-QOL), and negative emotion scores were compared. Results. After intervention, the clinical symptom scores and negative emotion scores of groups A and B were lower than those of group C ( P < 0.001 ), as well as the CR ( P < 0.05 ), and the UW-QOL scores of groups A and B were higher than those of group C ( P < 0.05 ), but no significant differences in these aspects were presented between group A and group B ( P > 0.05 ). The main factors affecting quality of life were swallowing/chewing, language, and saliva in group A; swallowing/chewing, language, and taste in group B; and appearance, swallowing/chewing, emotion, and language in group C. Conclusion. Psychological intervention can improve the mental state of patients with oral cancer after operation, optimize the effect of operation, and improve the quality of life. As the effect of psychological intervention on patients undergoing different repair and reconstruction methods is similar, it should be given according to patients’ actual condition in the clinic.
