Abstract
Many procedures have been described for reconstruction of the lips. Surgeons must strive to reconstruct an esthetic and functional lower lip. In 1974, Karapandzic described a procedure for reconstruction of lip defects by local arterial flaps. We describe a patient with buccal mucosa (lower lip mucosa) carcinoma in whom immediate reconstruction was performed using both a Karapandzic flap and a rhomboid flap. The outcome was satisfactory. A Karapandzic flap was particularly useful in reconstruction of the angulus oris.
