Article Synopsis
- Current guidelines recommend non-surgical treatment for T4b buccal mucosa carcinoma, so this study compares outcomes of T4b patients with T4a patients who received similar surgical and adjuvant treatments.
- The study analyzed oncologic outcomes of 282 patients to evaluate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) at 2 years, finding no significant difference in survival rates between T4a and T4b patients.
- Key factors influencing outcomes in T4b patients include extra capsular spread, involvement of the lateral pterygoid muscle, and missing adjuvant treatment, indicating that surgical options may need to be reconsidered for T4b cases.
Introduction: Reconstruction has evolved long way from primary closure to flaps. As time evolved, better understanding of vascularity of flap has led to the development of innovative reconstructive techniques. These flaps can be raised from various parts of the body for reconstruction and have shown least donor site morbidity.

Oral submucous fibrosis is a commonly encountered clinical problem in the Indian subcontinent. Treatment with surgery and reconstruction with appropriate flap, followed by vigorous physiotherapy is the ideal management. We report three advanced cases that were successfully managed and rehabilitated with bi-paddled radial forearm free flaps.
