OBJECTIVE: The present study assessed the reliability of the reverse facial artery-submental artery deepithelialised submental island technique to reconstruct @entity3573 . METHODS: The study included 13 @entity1 (9 @entity1 and 4 @entity1 ; 43-62 years) with @entity3573 resulting from @entity5 ablation. Ten @entity1 presented with @entity957 and the remaining 3 cases were @entity957 . The maxilla was resected and the remaining defects were classified as Class 2a. Reverse facial artery-submental artery deepithelialised submental island flaps measuring 8-10 cm in length and 4-5 cm in width were used to reconstruct the defects. RESULTS: Twelve of the 13 flaps survived. No donor-site problems or palsy of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve occurred. The follow-up period ranged from 8 to 24 months, 1 @entity1 died as a result of @entity5 recurrence and 2 @entity1 developed cervical recurrence. CONCLUSION: The reverse facial @entity432 is safe, quick and simple to use or elevate. The flap is a reliable technique for reconstructing @entity3573 following @entity5 ablation.
