Abstract
in English, Italian

The peroneal artery perforator (PNAP) flap is a good choice for reconstruction in intraoral soft-tissue rehabilitation. In this article, the authors propose the use of a modified PNAP flap with pedicle extension.

Il lembo perforante peroniero (PNAP, peroneal artery perforator) rappresenta una buona opzione ricostruttiva nel trattamento chirurgico dei difetti dei tessuti molli del cavo orale. In questo articolo gli autori presentano un allestimento del lembo PNAP modificato con estensione del peduncolo.

Keywords: Free flap; Microsurgery; Peroneal artery perforator flap; Squamous cell carcinoma.
