Bilateral Melolabial Flap Reconstruction Post Fibrotomy: A Novel Alternative Option
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Melolabial flap previously known as nasolabial flap is a proven reconstructive option for correcting defects of the face preferably of the nose and forehead. Two subtypes based on different pedicles exists namely superiorly and inferiorly pedicled melolabial flap. Melolabial flap can also be successfully incorportated through the raised tunnel to correct various defects of the buccal mucosa. The present case report highlights the usefulness of the bilateral melolabial flap as an alternative method to reconstruct buccal mucosa defect of a oral submucous fibrosis case treated by fibrotomy.
