RE: Assessment of surgical outcomes and oncologic safety for submental artery perforator flap reconstruction after ablation of oral cancer

We read the paper by Shen et al with great interest1. This paper retrospectively compared outcomes following the use of the Submental Island Flap (SIF), Submental Artery Perforator Flap (SAPF), and the Anterolateral Thigh Perforator Flaps (ALTPF) and we commend the authors on their work. Of significance, they looked at the oncological safety associated with transferring the SIF with level 1-tissue versus SAPF not harbouring level 1-tissue.
