Although it is natural to completely remove the tumorous tissue in the operation of labial tumors, especially cancer of lips, it seems important to attempt the patient's prompt social return by performing immediate reconstruction in order to improve functional and aesthetic defects occured in the site of operation.
In the present study, we performed an immediate reconstructive operation according to Fries method, a modification of Bernard method, using a local flap in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. In consequence, an almost satisfactory result was obtained from both functional and aesthetic standpoints, which will be reported in this paper.
