Intraoral hair growth following flap reconstruction for oral cancer surgery is a common but often overlooked complication. This case series presents two patients who developed iatrogenic intraoral hair after nasolabial flap reconstructions, resulting in mucosal irritation, difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, and emotional distress. Laser hair removal was not feasible due to technical limitations in the oral cavity. Instead, electrolysis was successfully employed as a permanent hair removal method. Both patients showed improvement after treatment, with one requiring a second session due to slight recurrence. Electrolysis is a practical and effective alternative to laser therapy for managing intraoral hair growth, particularly in cases where laser treatments are challenging.
口腔癌手术皮瓣重建术后口内毛发生长是一种常见但常被忽视的并发症。本病例系列介绍了两名患者，他们在鼻唇沟皮瓣重建术后出现医源性口内毛发，导致黏膜刺激、难以保持口腔卫生以及情绪困扰。由于口腔内的技术限制，激光脱毛不可行。相反，电解法成功地作为一种永久性脱毛方法使用。两名患者治疗后均有改善，其中一名因轻微复发需要进行第二次治疗。对于处理口内毛发生长，电解法是激光治疗的一种实用且有效的替代方法，特别是在激光治疗具有挑战性的情况下。
