Buccinator-based myomucosal flaps in intraoral reconstruction: A review and new classification
The patient was a 12-year-old girl with benign pathologic lesion that involved soft palate. Posteriorly based buccinator myomucosal pedicle flap reconstructed the mucosal defect, immediately after resection [].\nThis flap relays on buccal artery (a branch of maxillary artery) for survival. Long buccal nerve accompanies this artery, therefore, it is neurovascular pedicle flap and sensory return is predictable. There was no need for pedicle base division. Donor site closed primarily.
