“…Interestingly use of free flaps for surgical management of OSMF has been reported only from the Chinese subcontinent with no reports available from other regions of the world. Five studies using a split technique of a radial forearm free flap from a single donor site and a single study using a similar split flap harvested from anterolateral thigh based on the lateral dorsal circumflex artery have been described [36][37][38][39][40] (Table 6). All the studies reported common complications of aberrant microvascular stenosis in the anastomoses and need for debulking at a later stage.…”

“…In the year 2011, Agarwal et al [ 10 ] performed a study to evaluate the use of extended nasolabial flaps in the management of oral submucous fibrosis in which they encountered intraoral hair growth in men. Likewise, in our case series intraoral hair growth was a common manifestation postoperatively in males which was gradually reduced over a period of one year.…”

BackgroundTo evaluate the versatility and reach of modified nasolabial flap used in reconstruction of defects created in and around the oral cavity.MethodsA total number of 20 cases were selected. Out of which 13 were males and 7 females. The age of these patients ranged from 24–63 years. 29 modified nasolabial flaps were raised in twenty patients. Based on clinical and histopathological examination, out of 20 patients, 14 patients were diagnosed with oral submucous fibrosis, 3 with verrucous carcinoma, 1 with squamous papilloma, 1 with oro-antral fistula and 1 with traumatic loss of lower lip.ResultsMinimum preoperative interincisal distance (IID) was 0 mm and maximum was 15 mm with mean of 6.00±4.76 mm in patients with oral submucous fibrosis and 12 months postoperatively minimum IID was 16 mm and maximum was 41 mm with mean of 28.00±8.96 mm. In one case, dehiscence (3.4%) was noted on the anterior tip for which tip revision was done. Bulky appearance of the flap intraorally was observed in 2 cases (6.9%). Five (17.2%) among the 29 flaps had visible scar at the donor site postoperatively up to 3 months.ConclusionNumerous reconstructive techniques have been employed in the reconstruction of small to intermediate sized defects of oral cavity. Modified nasolabial flap is a versatile flap which has robust vascularity and can be successfully used with minimal complications. It can be rotated intraorally to extend from the soft palate to the lip. Thus, it can be used efficiently to treat the small defects of the oral cavity as well as recreating lost lip structure.

BackgroundThe use of Nasolabial flap (NLF) to reconstruct orofacial soft tissue defects is one of the oldest methods for reconstruction in the medical literature. Despite widespread use of this invaluable flap, there are still controversies over the terms used for the description of this flap.Materials and methodsA search was run in PubMed for articles in English language on nasolabial flap in oral cavity/facial reconstruction, between 1960 and 2016. Inclusion criteria was case series that focused on the anatomy, flap design, blood supply, composition, flap motion, and the reconstructed area and donor site complications.Results560 articles were found in PubMed search for nasolabial flap (between 1960 and 2016). 84 articles with case series structure and available full text were included. The results of the search in this topic for anatomy, flap design, blood supply,NLF composition, flap motion, reconstructed area and donor site morbidity are presented.ConclusionNasolabial flap is an old flap for reconstructive purposes. Over time different modifications have been introduced to expand its usage. Clear definition of the terms used with this flap is given.
