Deltopectoral Flap

Total or subtotal glossectomy for carcinomas of the tongue results in severe dysfunction of speech and swallowing. In such cases the larynx is frequently removed to prevent aspiration. In our experience the larynx may be preserved and intelligible speech and swallowing, without aspiration, may be achieved. Two patients were rehabilitated following total glossectomy by means of a tongue prosthesis. In two other patients in whom over one-half of the anterior tongue was removed the tongue was reconstructed by means of a deltopectoral flap.

A 38 year old gentleman presented with recurrent Squamos cell carcinoma of lower lip. He had earlier undergone previous surgeries and radiotherapy. At the time that he presented in KMCTH his lower lip area was much scarred and the tongue was shrunk and unavailable for vermilion reconstruction. This case report is an account of the various treatment carried out to reconstruct the lip. It was done with co-operation of the ENT department.

ABSTRACTPharyngeal obturator prostheses restore the congenital or acquired defects of the soft palate and allow adequate closure of palatopharyngeal sphincter. Two patients with soft palate defect and subsequent velopharyngeal insufficiency were rehabilitated using pharyngeal obturator prostheses which had different retention mechanisms. Since it is necessary for swallowing and intelligible speech, the patients were examined in terms of adequate velopharyngeal closure after prosthetic treatment. The results were satisfying for both the patients and physicians. (Eur J Dent 2010;4:81-87)
