From 1991 to 1993, we have performed reconstruc-tions of the oropharyngeal defects using a free radial forearm flap in 14 patients. All but one patients had squamous cell carcinoma. One patient had a adenoid cystic carcinoma in the oral floor. In three cases who received prior radical neck dissec-tion, microvascular anastomoses were performed at contralateral cervical area. Intra-arterial chemo-therapy was performeud in the external carotid artery in 8 cases, but no troubles in anastomosis was happened. The maximal size of a flap was 12 x 10 cm. In all but one cases the flaps were successfully transplanted without any necrosis. The overall sur-vival rate of free flap was 92.3%.

Our experience suggested that the free radial forearm flap was one of the most suitable flaps for reconstruction after resection of oropharyngeal can-cer.
