Abstract
The tongue flap has proven to be a reliable and easily obtained local flap in oral defects repair surgery. We have different types of the tongue flap; lateral tongue flap with proximal pedicle, and with distal pedicle; dorsal tongue flap anterior and posterior; ventral tongue flap. The use of the tongue flap requires a first intervention, coverage of substance loss; and in the second intervention, flap withdrawal.
