Abstract
Speech and swallowing function are significantly impaired when excision is more than subtotal glossectomy. The purpose of reconstruction is to maintain the patient’s QOL by ensuring the airway, speech and swallowing function. Individual cases may not achieve the same results. The purposes of resection are: no recurrence, function preservation, and high reproducibility. Reconstruction is easy to predict because there is no recurrence, no postoperative irradiation and clear remaining function, and is considered a better technique overall.
