Simultaneous reconstruction of the oral commissure, lip and buccal mucosa with microvascular transfer of combined first–second toe web and dorsalis pedis flap

Abstract The reconstruction of oral commissure, lip and mucosa defects following tumour resection is a challenging task to the reconstructive surgeon owing to the increasing aesthetic and functional demands. The authors describe a case in which the use of combined first–second toe web with dorsalis pedis flap was transferred and an optimal result was achieved for the oral commissure, lip and buccal mucosa following resection of squamous cell carcinoma and local flap failure.
