Imediate reconstruction of lower lip carcinoma by Fries method: Report of two cases

In the operation of lip carcinoma, although it is important to completely remove the tumor in this region, it is equally important for immediate reconstruction for patient's prompt social return.In the present, many study reports of lip carcinoma recommend immediate reconstruction.There are four reconstructive classified methods: Abbe-Estlander method, mental flap method, buccal flap method, and distal flap method.In this report, we performed immediate reconstructive operation in two cases according to Fries method. This method is a modification of the Bernard method which belongs to buccal flap method. In consequence, satisfactory results were obtained from functional and aesthtic standpoints.
