Reconstruction of the upper and lower lip using a modified Bernard-Burow technique.
Our experience with a modified Bernard-Burow technique for upper and lower lip reconstruction is described with preservation of the muscular lip sphincter. The use of local skin and buccal mucosal flaps sliding over the preserved muscular sphincter enables reconstruction with an acceptable cosmetic result even when almost total lip resection is required.
