Abstract

Reconstructing soft tissue defect resulting from resection of malignant tumor in face is crucial in esthetic and functional point of view. In order to solve this problem, several flaps such as free vascularized osteocutaneous flap. We reconstruct osseous and mucosal defect resulting from resection of lesion in a patient with gingival squamous cell carcinoma invading mandible and cervical lymph node with free fibular osteocutaneous flap.
