Palatal Reconstruction With the Palatal Island Flap

Objectives/Hypothesis The management of palatal defects resulting from the extirpation of benign and malignant lesions uses a variety of methods, with the optimal techniques allowing maximal postoperative function with minimal morbidity. The palatal island flap is an effective, reliable technique for reconstructing postablative oral cavity defects.
