      reconstruction of lower lip defects.

AB  - OBJECTIVES: Reconstruction of large lower lip defects remains challenging in 
      terms of aesthetics, function and safety. The aim of this study is to explore a 
      modified nasolabial flap to repair large lower lip defects. METHODS: The 
      full-thickness nasolabial facial artery flap was used for reconstruction of 
      defects in lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients after tumor ablation. The 
      postoperative recovery of patients was obtained through clinical review and 
      follow-up in the first and sixth month. RESULTS: There were four LSCC patients 
      who received tumor ablation at the Beijing Stomatological Hospital of Capital 
      Medical University from November 2022 to March 2023, were included in our study. 
      All patients did not suffer from postoperative infection, orocutaneous fistula, 
      flap necrosis, and flap loss. One patient had the trapdoor deformity. These 
      patients achieved better lip closure function. One patient developed cervical 
      lymph node metastasis 2 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The modified 
      nasolabial flap could achieve good outcomes in terms of aesthetics, function, and 
      safety. It provided a supplementary strategy for the using of nasolabial flap in 
      larger defects of lower lip.
