The local recurrence after radiochemotherapy of a SCC of the left posterior faucial pillar (A,C) was salvaged by a partial pharyngectomy through a transmandibular approach (C, D). The defect was restored through a PMMF flap (B, D), with complete re-epithelialisation and acceptable aesthetic results (E, F). The patient was able to feed with a normal diet at 3 weeks after the salvage surgery and did not report dysphagia.
