Osteocutaneous free flap remains the ideal choice of reconstruction because it restores cosmesis and function. The use of other locoregional flaps compromises cosmesis and function. Here, we have introduced a unique technique of reconstruction with lingual cortex mandibular plate as an alternate choice for free flap.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six patients aged 12\u201362 years underwent oncological resection for oral cancer which involved the anterior segment of the mandible. Following resection, they underwent lingual cortex mandibular plating with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction. Adjuvant radiotherapy was delivered to all patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean bony defect was 9.2 cm. There were no significant perioperative events related to the surgery. None required tracheostomy and all were safely extubated with no post-surgical complications. The cosmetic and functional outcomes were acceptable. Following the completion of radiotherapy with a median follow-up of 11 months, Plate exposure occurred in one patient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The technique is cheap, quick and simple, and can be effectively applied in resource-constrained and demanding situations. It is possible to consider this as an alternative treatment strategy for osteocutaneous free flap in anterior segmental defects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijc.ijc_1522_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]],"date-time":"2024-04-10T06:29:05Z","timestamp":1712730545000},"page":"565-570","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["An alternative method for reconstructing anterior segmental mandibulectomy defects with a plate and pectoral major muscle flap"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Jeyashanth","family":"Riju","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arun","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Ajit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit Jiwan","family":"Tirkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-19-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21492","article-title":"Global cancer statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"68","author":"Bray","year":"2018","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin"},{"key":"R2-19-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcms.2009.04.011","article-title":"Feasibility of alloplastic mandibular reconstruction in patients following removal of oral squamous cell carcinoma","volume":"38","author":"Ettl","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Craniomaxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R3-19-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"588","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199110000-00005","article-title":"Use of the AO plate for immediate mandibular reconstruction in cancer patients","volume":"88","author":"Schusterman","year":"1991","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"R4-19-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1061","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20463","article-title":"Prognosis as a determinant of free flap utilization for reconstruction of the lateral mandibular defect","volume":"28","author":"Deleyiannis","year":"2006","journal-title":"Head Neck"},{"key":"R5-19-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-0358.113715","article-title":"Microvascular free flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer in a resource-constrained environment in rural India","volume":"46","author":"Trivedi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Indian J.
