Restoration of oral competence in double free flap reconstructions of massive lower facial defects with fascia lata slings - Case series and review of the literature

Restoration of adequate oral competence is especially challenging in double free flap reconstructions of massive head and neck defects resulting from composite resections. Our report illustrates that oral competence in double free flap reconstructions of extensive oromandibular defects can be successfully restored with tensor fascia lata suspension slings.
