The use of the submental island flap in reconstructing palatal and facial defects in a surgical camp in East Africa.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The goals of successful reconstructive surgery are to restore function and cosmesis; however, limitation of resources can become an important consideration in low-middle income countries. METHODS:We describe our experience using the submental island flap in two cases during a short-term surgical camp in East Africa. RESULTS:The submental island flap was utilized as an excellent alternative to a free flap to reconstruct a subtotal maxillectomy and a parotidectomy defect in two patients. CONCLUSIONS:We demonstrate the successful use of this flap and describe some necessary modifications to achieve optimal results in a resource limited setting.
