title: [Platysma myocutaneous flap for oral cavity reconstruction].
abstract: The use of myocutaneous flaps has revolutionized reconstructive surgery following tumor resections in the head and neck area. The platysma myocutaneous flap described almost a century ago has not received much attention, although it has been reported to be a satisfactory technique. Its successful use in 2 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, a man of 61 and a woman of 77, is presented.
