Submental artery island flap (SMIF) is gaining popularity as a viable alternative to free flaps in carefully selected oral cavity defects after surgical extirpation of cancers.The current paper looks into the overall efficacy and oncological safety of the flap based on a prospective audit of 229 cases done at a high volume cancer center from october 2004 to september 2012 and concludes that SMIF is a oncologically safe,reliable reconstructive option in carefully selected oral cancers undergoing surgical resections.
