✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Soft‐palate malignancies classically have been managed with radiation therapy as the principal therapeutic modality. The survival rates are poor and may indicate the need for an aggressive combined approach using wide surgical resection. The use of surgery as the definitive control measure, however, raises objections about the loss of velopharyngeal closure in phonation and deglutition. The functional consequences of palate resection can be reversed with a one‐ or two‐stage modified pharyngeal flap procedure. The surgical techniques and three representative cases are presented.

## Abstract Soft palate reconstruction is one of the greatest challenges for reconstructive surgeons. In the last 2 decades, anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps have emerged as a popular reconstructive option because of the low donor morbidity, replacing radial forearm (RF) flaps. For soft palatal reco

The temporal osteocutaneous island (TOCI) flap was first performed in reconstruction of palatal defects by Furnas [8]. It consists of temporoparietal fascia, galea, pericranium and the cortical layer of parietal bone covered with pericranium. In this study, we present five patients with wide palatal
