title: [Combined masseter and buccal mucosa transposition flap. Primary reconstruction of posterior oral cavity].
abstract: A method for the primary reconstruction of the posterior oral cavity following T2 and small T3 tumor surgery is described. The combination of a masseter flap with a cranially pedicled intraoral buccal transposition flap results in a double layer for the repair of defects. Because of its simplicity and hence a shorter operation time, this functionally satisfactory reconstructive procedure should be used particularly for high-risk patients.
