Abstract
Reconstruction of the lip may be required after trauma and/or surgical excision of tumor. The lips contribute to form the beginning of the oral cavity, and they are the most common site of oral cancer. Any reconstruction of the lips must include both functional and cosmetic considerations. This case report presents a female patient, aged 22 years old, who was exposed to severe road traffic accident resulting in lower lip loss with both functional and cosmetic disturbances. Surgical reconstruction using Karapandzic flap was carried out at the Maxillofacial Surgery Department at Ramadi Teaching Hospital, Anbar Province, Iraq. A dynamic reconstruction with remaining lip tissue can provide superior results in terms of lip appearance and function.
