## Abstract ## Background Free flap reconstruction is a common procedure for throughβandβthrough lip and cheek complex defects after cancer ablation. However, oral incompetence with unacceptable bulky flap appearance invariably occurs and needs a secondary revisionary procedure. The purpose of thi

Abstract
Three new methods for reconstructing the lower lip after partial or total resection are described. An advancement flap is used to reconstruct partial defects. It can be combined with a reverse AbbΓ©βEstlander flap for repair of total loss of the lower lip. A new technique also is presented that allows singleβstage reconstruction after total resection of the lower lip.

## Abstract ## Background. Large fullβthickness defects of the lower lip need free tissue transfer. The free forearm flap is the more widespread technique for free flap lower lip reconstruction, but it results in a static lip. The authors describe a technique of morphodynamic sensate reconstructio
We report on a Brazilian girl with Kabuki syndrome (KS) and lower lip pits and anorectal anomalies. To our knowledge, four patients with KS were described as having anorectal anomalies [Matsumura et al., 1992: J Ped Surg 27:1600-1602]. Lower lip pits were observed only in a KS patient described by F
Total loss of both lips is fortunately rare as reconstruction of such defects poses an enormous challenge. We present a case of concomitant loss of both lips as a result of fulminant pneumococcal septicemia, which was reconstructed with a free vertical rectus abdominis myocutantous flap due to lack
## Abstract It is difficult to totally reconstruct the lips and achieve good functional and aesthetic results, such as oral sphincter function, sensation, appearance, color, and movement. There have been few reports of reconstructing complete lip defects. We present a case of completely reconstruct
