Lip Reconstruction using Karapandzic Flap

Abstract

ABSTRACT The peroral region which consists of the upper and lower lip plays a vital role functionally, esthetically as well as anatomically. The post-surgical defects of peroral structures, especially the mid line defects of the lower lip, present a considerable challenge for reconstruction. Currently, reconstruction of peroral structures are done by using local, distant and free flaps. In our case, we have reconstructed a large midline defect of more than two thirds of the lower lip by using a karapandzic flap. How to cite this article Patel KNA, Dandgi S, Singh R.
