Abstract

The palatal island rotation flap is a rarely used reconstructive technique. The tissue is robust and the morbidity is low. It can be used as a primary reconstructive technique in patients with limited oral cavity/pharynx lesions. Healing is uneventful. In radiated pateints healing is prolonged and should be avoided. We describe 14 patients where the flap was used to reconstruct local defects. Patients with no history of radiation all healed quickly and well. Those with a history of radiatiuon had prolonged pain and delayed healing. Laryngoscope, 2023.
