ABSTRACT
Oropharyngeal cancer surgery often does not allow primary wound closure; furthermore, surgery of tumors in the base of the tongue, the soft palate and the lateral pharyngeal wall often lead to swallowing disorders and nasal twang which severely impair quality of life. Secondary scarring may also result in fixation of the tongue or stenosis of the pharynx. Therefor reconstructive techniques with free or pedicled flaps are essential to reduce functional impairment. In addition, after trauma or due to malformations, reconstructive surgery using flap techniques is sometimes indicated.
