With the development of various reconstructive procedures, most patients who have undergone ablative surgery for oropharyngeal cancer have obtained satisfactory functional results and good quality of life. However, many questions remain concerning methods of obtaining optimal postoperative oral and pharyngeal functions, especially after glossectomy. This review focuses on reconstructive methods after partial glossectomy, hemiglossectomy, and subtotal or total glossectomy and discusses current problems and the possibility of sensory and dynamic reconstruction.

Due to the association with the causal human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) infection, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is now separated into two distinct entities depending on HPV16 positivity. More recent data show a diversified picture of the importance and prevalence of the surrogate parameter p16 (discordance) for a definitive HPV16 association, which varies worldwide. In the context of preventive options, vaccination is of major importance and HPV screening of healthy people of less importance.
