Platysma Flap Reconstruction in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Tongue: Cases Report Saw Yu Hlaing Win Naing Cancer is the one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. In Myanmar, oral cancer stood 6th and 10th position in male and female respectively, contributing 3.5% of the whole - body cancers. The two main goals of cancer therapy are to achieve a disease - free physical state of health and acceptable quality of life.After surgical resection of tumours, oral cavity will result in severe functional impairment of the individual patient. Numerous options can be used for reconstruction of the head and neck,including primary closure, skin grafts,local flaps and free flaps. Platysma myocutaneous flap (PMF) is one of the cervical pedicle flaps and it was first used for the reconstruction of oral defects in 1978 by Futrell. PMF is readily available, easy to harvest, thin and pliable, promoting threedimensional reconstruction, ease in closure the donor site primarily, minimal donor site morbidity and appropriate flap thickness for oral defects. So, PMF is the alternative use from free flap in intraoral defects. 2020-12-23 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000007014 https://meral.edu.mm/records/7014
