CHAPARRO-ARANGUREN, Enrique; OCHOA, Julio; GELES, Jose  e  RONDON, Carlos. Modification of the Bernard-Burow technique in total reconstruction of the lower lip: case report. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.4, pp.176-181.  Epub 31-Mar-2021. ISSN 0123-9015.  https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.355.

Lip carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck region. Squamous-cell carcinoma is the most frequent type of histological cell carcinoma, chiefly affecting the lower lip. Different techniques for reconstructing defects of the lower lip after neoplasia resection are used; however, preserving the functionality and aesthetics of this area poses a challenge due to the anatomical position that causes accumulation of saliva, thus delaying the healing process. We present a total lower lip reconstruction extended towards the chin by using the Burow's triangle, significantly improving functional and aesthetic results.
