Abstract
A new method for lower lip reconstruction is proposed. It is based on a double cutaneous and mucous V-Y advancement flap and is suggested for the surgical treatment of lip cancer confined between the skin and the vermilion with a horizontal spread. Sixteen patients were treated from 1996 to 2001 with this technique and the results were satisfactory both from the functional and the aesthetic standpoints.
