Local flapFor full-thickness lip defects, the choice of reconstructive option depends on the size of the defect. Defects of one-quarter to one-third of the upper lip can be closed primarily. Larger defects measuring one-third to two-thirds of the lower lip width may be closed with the ...
The lower lips reconstructed with the Yu flap or the Karapandzic flap obtained similar satisfactory oral function. The sensory function was essentially restored. There were no obvious obstacles in speech and expression, and no saliva leakage occurred. In the Yu flap group, only 1 patient had ...
In case of larger lip defects, if there is sufficient adjacent tissue, Karapandzic flap or the Bernard techniques can be used to reconstruct the entire lower lip. In this article, we present a case of post-traumatic, lower lip defect along with chin defect, and parasymphyseal fracture ...

We have two cases of subtotal lower lip defect following squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip excision, which was reconstructed with a bilateral karapandzic flap with reasonable functional outcome and cosmesis. Thus, bilateral karapandzic flap can be an alternative op...
A modified Karapandzic flap with bilateral peri-alar extensions and a fasciocutaneous radial forearm free flap were used to restore oral function and close the palatal defect, respectively. In our case, this combined approach allowed for aesthetic reconstruction of the upper lip and functional ...
