ABSTRACT
trauma or cancer surgery. This defects have been shown functional loss such as mastication, swallowing, speech and psychosocial esthetic problem. Oral and Maxillofacial defects is reconstructed by the use of many flaps. However although previous flap surgery was done, additional soft tissue defects can be still remained. In this case, Walk-Up flap that is introduced by Marx RE in 1990 is recommended for successful reconstruction. We report Walk-Up flap for reconstruction of remained soft tissue defects of tongue S.C.C. After induction chemotherapy, tongue S.C.C. is excised surgically and reconstructed by use of PMMC flap. Post-op infection results in surrounding soft tissue defect with oro-facial fistula. We have experienced a case of Walk-up flap by use of PMMC flap for reconstruction with satisfactory result, so we report it with literature reviews.
