This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
Patients with flap reconstruction because of oral squamous cell carcinoma showed very good overall HRQOL. Outcomes for microvascular reconstruction were good, even in the case of larger defects. The T-status is a predictor for HRQOL. Swallowing, chewing, speaking, taste, and pain were the most important issues in our cohort. Implementing HRQOL questionnaires for the assessment of quality of life could further increase the treatment quality of patients with oral cancer.
