Reconstruction of the lower lip after radical resection for cancer: the "Pharaoh technique".

For patients affected by far advanced lower lip cancer, with great local tumor destruction but few or no metastases, we advocate radical resection. Here we describe a method for these repairs, using two deltopectoral flaps. It produces a good functional result and satisfactory appearance. No recurrences have been observed in our 5 cases during a two-year follow-up.
