| Summary: | The article discusses a clinical case involving the consequences of electrical trauma to the face and neck. A non-free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) was utilized to repair the soft tissue buccal defect. The skin portion of the flap formed the intraoral lining, while a full-thickness skin graft was transplanted to recreate the skin over the muscle portion of the LDMF. The transferred LDMF and the transplanted full-thickness skin graft were successfully integrated in the immediate postoperative period. Long-term follow-up seven years after the surgery showed satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. Combining a non-free LDMF and autologous skin grafting effectively repaired a complex buccal defect requiring bilateral epithelial lining. |
