Abstract

Extensive intra-oral burns are very rare injuries. The microstomia resulting from the advanced cicatrization of the mucosa makes it difficult for the patient to eat and impossible to take care of his teeth. The traditional operation for widening the oral orifice was not sufficient because of the extensive scarring of the bucca. In the first operation the authors substituted the mucosa of the lip and the bucca of one side with splitted jejunum. Because of the advancing scarring another operation was performed and the mucosa of the other side of the bucca and the angle of mouth was substituted with a forearm graft.
