Abstract
A method for primary reconstruction of the dorsal oral cavity after tumor resection of T2 or small T3 tumors is presented. By combination of the masseter muscle flap with a cranial pedicled intraoral cheek transposition (IOCT) flap, a reconstruction of the defects with two layers of tissue is possible. This easy and functional reconstruction method is especially useful for high-risk patients because of the markedly reduced operating time.
