Резюме
Summary. The submental island fl ap is a reliable alternative in the armamentarium
of the plastic surgery for reconstruction of various head and neck defects including
those affecting the oral mucosa and the palate. Since it was fi rst described,
it has been affirmed as a safe, rapid and easy reconstruction method with minimal
to missing donor site morbidity.We present a clinical case of complete reconstruction
of soft palate using an anterograde pattern submental fl ap. We believe this flap to be safer than the reverse-fl ow one that has been typically used for defects located in this region. The surgical technique is described.
