pubmed-article:17985280 | pubmed:abstractText | Deep thermal dermal wounds of the oral region with subsequent microstomia are a rare and complex indication for surgical reconstruction of the oral commissure. Apart from functional and mimic aspects, aesthetic expectations are high. Based on converse technique, we performed a reconstruction of the oral commissure in 17 patients. 8 of these needed surgical re-operation due to recurrence and insufficient results. This high rate of complications led to a modification of the surgical procedure. | lld:pubmed |
