Abstract:
Surgical treatment of tongue cancer often results in half or more than half tongue defects, which not only makes swallow, speech and mastication very difficult, but also causes mental suffering. In order to restore the contour and function of the tongue, we repaired and reconstructed 21 cases tongue defects by using radial or ulnar skin flaps and myocutaneous flaps in forearm since 1981. All the skin flaps survived. Post-operative shape and function of the tongue were satisfactory. The technique of tongue reconstruction was decribed and the functional repairing of tongue and how to raise the success rate of the operation were discussed.
