[Reconstruction of the vermilion border after vermilionectomy. Apropos of 16 cases]
Abstract
The authors are concerned with 16 recently operated cases, and express their renewed interest in vermilionectomy in the management of precancerous states affecting the vermilion, immediately followed by reconstruction with a mucous advancement flap. After describing the method, the authors stress the benefits afforded by the method from both oncologic and prophylactic viewpoints. Functional and esthetic results are excellent.
