Abstract
The oropharynx represents one of the most challenging areas to reconstruct for the head and neck surgeon. The buccinator myomucosal island flaps pedicled on the facial artery [tunnelized facial artery myomucosal island flap (t-FAMMIF)] or the buccal artery [buccal artery myomucosal island flap (BAMMIF)] are an ideal reconstructive option for moderate size defects measuring up to 8–9cm. Two fresh specimens have been used to show the step-by-step surgical technique of both island flaps. Design and flap extension, dissection plane, identification of the vascular pedicle, flap rotation and insetting are described. Reconstructive indications and the pros and cons of each one are discussed in this article. Myomucosal island flaps represent a very useful and versatile option for the functional reconstruction of the oropharynx. A detailed knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the cheek is key to obtain a large flap while minimizing the risk of complications.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
