Methods: Design: Retrospective Case Series Setting: Tertiary National University Hospital Participants: Records of 11 patients on whom a nasolabial flap was performed for reconstruction of head and neck defects between January 2013 and December 2018 were analyzed. Results: All patients underwent wide excision with or without frozen section, with or without neck dissection, and nasolabial flap closure was performed by a single surgeon. There were no major complications. In two cases, the nasolabial flap was used as an adjunct for Abbé and deltopectoral flap reconstruction. One had poor oral competence due to the bulk of the deltopectoral flap. Acceptable aesthetics and functional outcomes were achieved. Conclusion: The nasolabial flap is a viable alternative for reconstruction of orofacial defects following head and neck surgeries. Additional cases can help validate our initial experience Robert Zaid DiazArsenio Claro CabungcalPhilippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Inc.article Nasolabial flapnasolabial foldorofacial defectsoral and facial carcinomamouthskinOtorhinolaryngologyRF1-547ENPhilippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Vol 36, Iss 2 (2021)
