Primary reconstruction of defects in the upper and lower lips following tumor excision. 1979

T Nakajima, and N Tokiwa, and K Mogi, and K Obata

Three cases of basal cell carcinoma and epithelioma in the upper and lower lips are reported. The defects in the upper lip following tumor excision were repaired with an application of Burow's technique. Martin's method, after modification of Bernard cheiloplasty, was used for the repair of the lower lip defect. The methods proved to be quite effective in providing excellent aesthetic results. No disturbance was noted in the activity of the repaired upper lips. The labial function, however, associated with the orbicularis oris was left impaired in the newly formed lower lip.
