What is Intraoral Flaps for Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Reconstruction about?

## Purpose of review Oral cavity reconstruction using local flaps is an area of head and neck surgery that has been overshadowed since the introduction of free flaps. Here, we discuss new developments, predominantly modifications to existing techniques for intraoral reconstruction, the utility of different local flaps and a review of functional outcomes. ## Recent findings The facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap has seen the greatest number of modifications to technique, most notably the extended double-pedicled, kite-shaped tunnelized and osseous myomucosal approaches. The tunnelled buccal fat pad flap has gained popularity as well as the use of combining two flaps such as the buccal fat pad and palatal island flap to reconstruct oral cavity defects with good effect. There is still a paucity of literature surrounding functional outcomes post reconstruction. Despite this, the complication rate for local flaps remains low.
