Objectives: This study aims to present our clinic experiences on the Fujimori gate flap used for reconstruction of lower lip defect due to lower lip carcinoma. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included 19 patients 7 females, 12 males; mean age 60.3 years; range 41 to 79 years who underwent reconstruction with the Fujimori-gate flap between January 2006 and March 2011. 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.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada alt dudak karsinomuna bağlı alt dudak defektlerinin rekonstrüksiyonunda kullanılan Fujimori gate flebi ile ilgili klinik deneyimlerimiz sunuldu.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2006 - Mart 2011 tarihleri arasında Fujimori gate flep ile rekonstrükte edilmiş 19 hasta 7 kadın, 12 erkek; ort. yaş 60.3 yıl; dağılım 41-79 yıl bu retrospektif çalışmaya alındı. Tüm hastaların demografik özellikleri ve ameliyat sonrası uzun dönem fonksiyonel ve estetik sonuçları incelendi.Bulgular: Ortalama defekt boyutu 34.2 mm dağılım, 10-60 mm idi. Toplam 27 flep eleve edildi. Ameliyattan sonra hiçbir komplikasyon izlenmedi. Dokuz hastaya uzun dönemde minör revizyon uygulandı. Hiçbir hastada lokal nüks meydana gelmedi. Sonuç: Fujimori gate flep alt dudak tümörlerinin cerrahisi sonrası gelişen doku kayıplarının rekonstrüksiyonunda kullanılabilir
