Demographic features of all patients and postoperative long-term functional and aesthetic results were reviewed.RESULTS: The mean size of the defects was 34.2 mm (range, 10 to 60 mm). Totally 27 flaps were elevated. No complication was observed after surgical procedure. In the long-term, nine patients underwent minor revisions. None of the patients showed local recurrence.CONCLUSION: Fujimori gate flap may be used for the reconstruction of the soft tissue loss after tumor surgery at lower lip.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle24315315810.5606/kbbihtisas.2014.977522-s2.0-8494416305525010804N/A165264
