VIVAR BAUZA, Miriam et al. Presentation of Three Patients with Lower Lip Reconstruction through Bernard Technique (Modified). CCM [online]. 2013, vol.17, suppl.1, pp. 566-571. ISSN 1560-4381.
Introduction: surgical treatment of malignant tumors affecting the lower lip requires the removal of a large part of this anatomical area. Several techniques are described for generating defect repair, including Bernard technique, first described in 1853 and has assimilated some changes that make it more functional and aesthetic. Objective: to present three patients that underwent reconstruction of lower lip defects with the use of the Bernard surgical technique (modified). Methods: three patients underwent surgical treatment for squamous cell carcinoma requiring resection of more than one third of the lower lip and reconstructive cheiloplasty by Bernard technique (modified). Results: in all three patients, the tumor exeresis was completed and achieved favorable aesthetic and functional results. Conclusions: Bernard surgical technique (modified) is very useful for the reconstruction of large defects of the lower lip achieving a functional and esthetic lip.
