[Reconstruction of the lower lip].
The author describes techniques for the reconstruction of the lower lip, especially the wedge-shaped excision, the methods developed by Dieffenbach, Langenbeck, Estlander, Gillies, Weerda, Bernard and Grimm. Using the double Gillies fan flap, labial vessels are preserved because of the lack of circulary anastomoses in 75% and lack of anastomoses in the middle line of the upper lip in 60% and of the lower lip in 32% of the cases. Several examples are given.
