Abstract
The reconstruction of anterior tongue is done by a variety of techniques ranging from secondary healing to free flaps.We present a less often used technique of infrahyoid myofasciocutaneous flap for reconstructing tongue lesions. This is a simple method of reconstruction with the use of loco regional tissue not reacquiring specialized instrumentation or training. From October 2016 to February 2018, this technique was performed in nine patients of squamous cell carcinoma of tongue. In this presentation we will elaborate our experience, the advantages of using this surgical technique and the functional outcome for tongue reconstruction after ablation surgery in oral cancer.
