Özet

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to present our clinic experiences on the Fujimori gate flap used for reconstruction of lower lip defect due to lower lip carcinoma.PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 19 patients (7 females, 12 males; mean age 60.3 years; range 41 to 79 years) who underwent reconstruction with the Fujimori-gate flap between January 2006 and March 2011. Demographic features of all patients and postoperative long-term functional and aesthetic results were reviewed.RESULTS: The mean size of the defects was 34.2 mm (range, 10 to 60 mm). Totally 27 flaps were elevated. No complication was observed after surgical procedure. In the long-term, nine patients underwent minor revisions. None of the patients showed local recurrence.CONCLUSION: Fujimori gate flap may be used for the reconstruction of the soft tissue loss after tumor surgery at lower lip.
