title: [Reconstruction of perforated defects].
abstract: 12 cases of perforated defect were successfully repaired with lining flaps and covering tissues since 1982. The writers emphasized that the perforated defects happened more frequently on maxillo-face than on others. This paper reported 7 out of 12 cases. After the carcinomas or other tumors had been excised or treated by radiotherapy the defect of local skin may occur easily. Operations should be performed as early as possible no matter infections or scars exist. If every difficult present repairing operation shall finished on early and is not restricted with infection and scars. On the maxillofacial and neck region the sternocleidomastoid or latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps should be selected as the covering tissues.
