In this article a new method of closing palatal defects by means of buccal fat pad flaps is reported. A double buccal fat pad flap in association with Le Fort I osteotomy approach was adopted to remove tumours of the palate and nasal fossae. The technique is described in a case of adenocarcinoma arising from the nasal septum and its indications and advantages are discussed. © 2006 International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Abstract
In this article a new method of closing palatal defects by means of buccal fat pad flaps is reported. A double buccal fat pad flap in association with Le Fort I osteotomy approach was adopted to remove tumours of the palate and nasal fossae. The technique is described in a case of adenocarcinoma arising from the nasal septum and its indications and advantages are discussed. © 2006 International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
