title: [A superiorly pedicled nasobuccal flap. Its value in the reconstruction of posterior-superior loss of substance of the oral mucosa].
abstract: Superiorly based nasolabial flap is an interesting solution for reconstruction of moderate size maxillary defects. The operative technique and its results are described. Advantages (reliability in flap vascularity, versatility, easiness of elevation) and limits of this procedure for closure maxillary defects are mentioned. Then they are compared to the other reconstructive maxillary techniques.
