Abstract
Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy in the context of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma may require reconstruction with strongly vascularized flaps. This is fundamental to address the volumetric deficit and prevent complications such as carotid blowout syndrome. The submental island flap is well suited for this purpose.
