TLDR
The combined dorsalis pedis cutaneous, extensor hallucis and digitorum brevis muscle conjoined free flap is useful for a moderate or subtotal defect of the full-thickness lip when local or regional flaps are not applicable.Abstract:
The combined dorsalis pedis cutaneous, extensor hallucis and digitorum brevis muscle conjoined free flap is useful for a moderate or subtotal defect of the full-thickness lip when local or regional flaps are not applicable. This method can restore good oral competence, adequate oral aperture allowing dental hygiene, and an ability to purse the lips and create a seal.read more

Total Reconstruction of the Upper Lip Using Bilateral Nasolabial Flaps, Submental Flap, and Mucosa Graft following Complete Resection for Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
TL;DR: The procedure used in this case was a combination of bilateral nasolabial flaps with a submental flap and buccal mucosal graft lining which is believed to provide an alternative method of total upper lip reconstruction with minimal disruption of the facial aesthesis.

Free dorsalis pedis sensory flap to the hand, with microneurovascular anastomoses.
Kitaro Ohmori,Kiyonori Harii +1 more
TL;DR: In hand reconstruction, the free flap is less often required than in repairs of other sites, such as the leg, but the importance of restoring sensibility in the hand is evident.
