Treatment of patients with advanced oral cavity cancer remains challenging.
Material and Methods. We analyzed 127 reconstructive operations performed in patients with oral
cancer. We used free (90 cases ‑ 71%) and pedicle (37 cases ‑ 29%) flaps for the reconstruction.
Results. Good functional results were achieved in most cases (85%). Adequate mobility of the
tongue was restored by using skin-fascial flaps. In cases with maxillofacial reconstruction, the
mandibular and maxillary continuity, natural facial contour and mouth opening were restored
using bone flaps. Conclusions. To achieve good functional and cosmetic results, as well as to
reduce postoperative complications of reconstructive surgery in patients with oral cavity tumors,
an adequate reconstructive material should be selected.
