pubmed:abstractText |
Velopharyngeal competence reconstruction is indispensable for acquiring the fine speech and ingesting function. However, the maxillary prosthesis becomes unstable in some patients who have undergone extensive palatomaxillary. We present a case of total palatomaxillary defect resulting from squamous cell carcinoma ablation of the palate, which was reconstructed using a fibula-free osteocutaneous flap. Velopharyngeal competence was reconstructed owing to the flap so that the patient could ingest a soft diet and speak without hypernasality 2 weeks after surgery.
