Abstract
A free radial forearm fascial flap has been described for intraoral
reconstruction. Adiposo-fascial flap harvesting involves few technical
modifications from the conventional radial forearm fascio-cutaneous
free flap harvesting. We report a case of inferior maxillectomy defect
reconstruction in a 42-year-old male with a free radial forearm
adiposo-fascial flap with good aesthetic and functional outcome with
minimal primary and donor site morbidity. The technique of raising the
flap and closing the donor site needs to be meticulous in order to
achieve good cosmetic and functional outcome
