title: The forehead flap: a modification in technique.
abstract: The use of the forehead flap for reconstruction within the oral cavity after tumour resection is discussed. A minor modification in technique is described. The sub-zygomatic route to the oral cavity is used and a piece of teflon or sialalastic sheet is sewn over the raw surfaces of the flap which lies within the tunnel in the cheek to facilitate retrieval of the pedicle.
