Abbe’s Flap for Lip Reconstruction –Report of 2 Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Lip is special to the face in its morphology and position. This tissue is not found anywhere else in the body, thus making the repair of its lost structure that much more difficult to the operating surgeon. Upper lip defect caused by trauma can result in facial and functional compromise. Apart from the esthetic value, lips are also important for oral competence, emotional communication, deglutition and speech. Lip defects with more than two third involvement requires a thorough pre operative planning and pre surgical technical knowhow. Goals of the reconstruction are the maintenance of oral opening, oral competence, restoration of normal anatomic functions and cosmesis. Here we present two cases of upper lip defects where more than two third of the lip was lost and these were surgically reconstructed by Abbe’s flaps.
