[Monoblock excision of epitheliomas of the tongue and floor of the mouth. Apropos of 27 cases].

So-called "moniblock" excision, an attractive technique for the treatment of carcinomas of the tongue and floor of the mouth, benefits considerably from the use of pediculated flaps which ensure closure of the buccal cavity and thus diminish or even eliminate the risk of septic cervical cellulitis. The authors report 27 cases of carcinoma treated using this technique involving plastic repair using a temporo-frontal flap inserted in the buccal cavity via the temporal groove after resection of the coronal and the zygomatic arch.
