Factors affecting volume change of myocutaneous flaps in oral cancer

After oral cancer resection with flap reconstruction, the volume of the flap decreases over time. The purpose of this study was to estimate the volume change in myocutaneous flaps and to identify the clinical factors associated with this volume decrease. Postoperative computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance images of 30 patients, obtained at 1, 6, and 12 months after oral cancer resection with myocutaneous flap reconstruction, were reviewed retrospectively. Changes in the volume of the flaps over time were assessed.
