The study evaluates the effectiveness of the reinnervated mushroom-shaped anterolateral thigh perforator flap for subtotal tongue reconstruction in 13 patients with squamous cell carcinomas. Results showed that 53.8% achieved normal speech and 46.2% had mild swallowing impairment, with all flaps healing uneventfully. The flap design and surgical technique provided satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes, making it a promising option for tongue reconstruction.
