Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Extensive tissue defects resulting from tumor resection within the head and neck require simultaneous reconstruction. One of the most commonly used free flaps in reconstruction of the oral cavity is free anterolateral thigh flap. The work describes the case of a 57-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the cheek, who underwent reconstruction of full thickness of the cheek with a folded free anterolateral thigh flap. The authors provide treatment methods and the possibility of using ALT flap.<br/><br/>
