Abstrakt: We reported a case series of thin (n = 32) and ultrathin (n = 4) submental artery perforator flaps (SMAPF) for precise reconstruction following T1-2 oral cavity cancer resection. The former is indicated for tongue reconstruction involving the tongue tip, and buccal lining replacement involving the mouth corner, while the latter is specifically tailored to restore superficial buccal defects after resection of small early cancer originating from oral submucous fibrosis. All flaps survived. Most flap reconstructions reached satisfactory cosmetic results. Based on this series, we discussed the indications of thin and ultrathin SMAPFs in intaoral reconstruction, and surgical tips for flap thinning.
