Abstract

To the Editor,

We read with great interest the article titled “Local Flap Reconstructions in Oral Cavity Defects: An Insight from 104 Cases” and commend the authors for their valuable contribution to the field of reconstructive surgery. We believe that individuals diagnosed with oral cancer undergoing flap reconstruction should have physical therapy incorporated into their prehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation.
