“…Variations of a buccinator flap based on the facial artery10, 11, 15, 17–20 have been described by multiple authors and will not be elucidated upon. The basis of the FAB flap most closely resembles the buccinator myomucosal reverse flow island flap reported in 1999 by Zhao et al10 Similarly, Fan et al21 described the use of reversed buccinator musculomucosal flaps for reconstruction of defects resulting from resection of nasal inverted papillomas.…”

The transposition of pedicled buccinator muscle flaps with and without mucosa into the nasal cavity could reach the anterior skull base and planum sphenoidale, if the appropriate surgical technique is used. The pedicled Facial Buccinator Flap holds significant potential as a reconstructive alternative for a variety of skull base defects, alone or in combination with existing reconstructive options. 2010.

“…The various cheek flaps have shown great applicability with only minor complications, in particular in the covering of medium‐sized substance loss in the floor of the mouth or exposure of the mandible. Hinged posteriorly and thus based on the buccal artery or random flow, the flap may cover defects in the anterior oropharynx (tonsillar fossa, base of tongue, and soft palate) …”

Aim To evaluate usefulness of the buccal flap as a reconstructing tool for various surgical defects in the oral cavity. Study design Retrospective observational study. Materials and methods Retrospective charts reviews of 15 patients, with carcinoma of the oral cavity in whom a buccal flap was used to repair the defect after excision of the primary lesion, were reviewed. All these patients were called for follow‐up and analysed for functional and aesthetic outcomes. Results All flaps survived successfully. Three had marginal necrosis of the flap which was managed conservatively. Mild chewing difficulty and trismus were other problems commonly encountered. Conclusion Buccal flap is a sensate, easy to harvest local flap with well‐defined neuro vascular bundle that can be used in reconstructing various surgical defects of oral cavity and oropharynx thus obviating the need for distal tissue transfer.
