Abstract
The nasolabial flap is a simple option for the reconstruction of selected o ral defects. Though its use in floor-of-mouth reconstruction has been descr ibed, other uses in the oral cavity have not been studied extensively. We p resent a series of 224 oral malignancies where the nasolabial flap was used for reconstruction after surgical excision. (C) 2001 The British Associati on of Plastic Surgeons.
