Description
Summary:	Since 1983 we have used the vascularized small bowel graft for oral reconstruction after resection of extensive carcinomas at different locations within the oral cavity and oropharynx. Our experience with this technique in 27 cases over a period of six years is discussed with particular reference to the specific problems encountered. The future place of the free jejunum as an ideal tissue in oral reconstructions restoring speech and deglutition will become apparent.
