Two procedures for the primary reconstruction of the upper lip and corner of the mouth following tumour excision have been described in the paper presented. One method represents a modification of Burow's technique (1855) for the reconstruction of the lower lip, which is very suitable in the reconstruction of the lateral border of the upper lip. The second procedure is best suited for the remoulding of the area of the angle of the mouth. The tumour is excised in a crescent-shaped manner, and the missing upper and lower lip reconstructed by means of a horizontal incision in the cheek, and de-epithelisation of two triangular areas which are covered with undermined buccal mucosa. The incision lines described have been illustrated in two cases.
