Abstract
The dorsalis pedis fasciocutaneous flap is a thin and pliable flap sharing many similarities with the radial forearm flap, thus making it ideal for intraoral reconstruction. Proper intraoperative and postoperative care of the donor site can result in minimal morbidity, as shown in this study. This flap may provide an ideal alternative to the radial forearm free flap, with the added advantages of a well-hidden scar and a high level of patient satisfaction.
