About this study

The excision of oral cancers causes extensive impairment of the oral cavity soft tissue. Complete excision of the tumors is vital, and the reconstruction of the resected area influences not only the postoperative recovery period of patients but also physiological functions such as swallowing, phonation function ,daily activities and psychosocial impact.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are faced with the task of reconstructing the affected area to reduce these problems as much as possible.
