Reconstruction of Skin Cancer Photo Gallery

Procedure details: This 43 year old female presented for evaluation of a lower lip mass. A biopsy performed by another physician demonstrated the mass to be consistent with squamous cell carcinoma. Dr. Rami Batniji's father, Dr. Kamal Batniji who is an Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck surgeon, performed the excision as well as neck dissection to remove lymph nodes associated with the cancer. Then, Dr. Rami Batniji performed the following reconstructive procedure:

• Right-sided Karapandzic flap.
• Left-sided modified Webster-Burrow flap.

The combination of these 2 flaps provided the patient with a fully functioning lower lip.
