Functional lower lip reconstruction with the partial latissimus dorsi muscle free flap without nerve coaptation

The repair of extensive lower lip defects is difficult due to the presence of both functional and esthetic requirements. This report describes functional lip repair using the partial latissimus dorsi free flap without nerve coaptation.
