The facial artery myomucosal (FAMM) flap is a type of facial flap that is constructed with the buccal mucosa and submucosa along with a portion of the buccinator muscle, which is connected to nearby blood vessels to maintain its blood supply. It is a versatile and reliable option for head and neck reconstruction, particularly in oral cavity defects. This flap is employed in the reconstruction of the floor of the mouth, alveolar cleft surgery, and tongue defect repair. Previous studies have discussed the use of FAMM flaps for facial reconstructions. However, there are no current and updated comprehensive reviews discussing the use of FAMM flaps in facial reconstruction. In light of this, this study aimed to review all relevant studies that discuss the use of FAMM flaps in facial reconstruction.
面动脉肌黏膜（FAMM）瓣是一种面部皮瓣，由颊黏膜、黏膜下层以及部分颊肌构成，该瓣与附近血管相连以维持血供。它是头颈部重建的一种通用且可靠的选择，尤其适用于口腔缺损。此皮瓣用于口底重建、牙槽裂手术及舌缺损修复。以往研究已探讨过FAMM瓣在面部重建中的应用。然而，目前尚无关于FAMM瓣在面部重建中应用的最新全面综述。鉴于此，本研究旨在回顾所有讨论FAMM瓣在面部重建中应用的相关研究。
