The Old Switcheroo 

It goes without saying, surgical reconstruction is best achieved by restoring function and esthetics as optimally as possible. Shown here is a palatal rotation flap 😆This patient had biopsy proven carcinoma in-situ, essentially a pre-cancerous lesion of the mouth. First, the lesion was surgically excised, then, a pedicle of tissue from the palate was undermined and rotated to reconstruct the defect 🚧🔨👨‍🚒🙌
