Popis:	Summary The present study was performed to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of the Platysma Myocutaneous Flap in conjunction with MacFee's cervical incision (MacFee, 1960) for reconstruction after oral cancer excision. Ten squamous cell carcinoma cases were provided for postoperative evaluation of tongue movement and aesthetic problems of the cervical skin. It was found that the thickness of the skin island was adequate for covering the oral defects and was not a hindrance to proper postoperative function. MacFee's incision improved the condition of the scar caused by flap elevation. The procedure for preparing the muscle pedicle beneath the cervical skin tunnel was carried out without much difficulty by carefully preparing the surgical field.
