title: [Functional disorders following resection of the tongue and mouth floor].
abstract: On observing 20 patients who had underwent total tongue and floor-of-the-mouth resection, the authors stated difficulties in swallowing and breathing that in certain cases called for laryngectomy. To counteract these disorders, floor-of-the-mouth and tongue reconstruction was performed with the aid of an arterialized frontal flap, which resulted in essentially undisturbed functions.
