The prime objective of oral cavity reconstruction is restoration of function, which must be carefully studied while evaluating the success of any reconstructive endeavour. We devised a unique comprehensive test series for the purpose that is suitable for use in routine follow-ups, and capable of pro
By use of sophisticated techniques now available from the science of Speech Pathology, we can now document, quantify, and critically analyze the surgeon's reconstructive efforts in the oral cavity. Using these methods, we have evaluated the neurotized lateral arm free flap in six patients receiving
## Abstract Pedicled tongue flaps (anterior, posterior, double) have proved to be an effective method of repairing defects due to tissue loss in the oral cavity. Their central position, mobility, and excellent blood supply make the use of these flaps feasible in a variety of sites.
Our experience with the free vascularized fascial flap based on the radial artery used for intraoral reconstruction is described. Thirteen patients underwent primary or secondary reconstruction following major resections for malignant disease. The osseofascial flap incorporating radial bone proved t
There are few studies that have addressed themselves to measuring speech, swallowing function and the "quality of life" of patients that have been treated for oral cavity cancer. The goal of this study was to develop a test series to assess the oral cavity function and the general health of patients
