(a–e): Intraoperative view after tumor ablation due to mucosal cancer around the left canine-to-second-premolar region with marginal resection of the mandible (a); the prelaminated left radial forearm is harvested together with the cephalic vein prior to microvascular anastomosis (b). Twelve weeks post-resection and reconstruction, the prelaminated radial forearm flap shows a stable epithelialized surface (c,d). The orthopantomogram shows the marginal resection with numerous titanium microclips used for hemostasis during previous surgeries (e).
