Abstract
- Lip cancer is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity and is the second most common cancer in the head and neck. Because lip cancer can be detected early, it is readily curable compared with other head and neck malignancies. In the treatment, surgery is recommended for most patients. After resection, reconstruction is important both aesthetically and functionally, because of it's prominent location of face and essential functions of sphincter to assist in mastication, swallowing, phonation, and expressing emotion. Recently, we performed the reconstruction of lower lip defects after resection of cancer using various methods and achieved good results. So we present the cases with a review of literatures.
