Background: Early-stage oral cancers are usually treated with surgical resection and in most of cases the resulting defects too large to be primarily reconstructed.There many modalities reconstruction as nasolabial flap, buccal bad fat, polyglycolic acid sheets.Objective: This work aimed evaluate mucosal using either (PGA) sheet or flap.Material Methods: 51 patients them 26 were reconstructed sheet, 25 flap retrospectively.The tumors' location, perioperative situation, postoperative aesthetic functional results assessed.Results: There was no significant difference between 2 groups regarding early start feeding hospitalization time.While, PGA group had shorter operative time.In exposed bone surface, more feasible for reconstruction.There speech intelligibility lingual cases.In sheets suitable larger defects. Conclusion:The optimal choice depends on tumor defect size, general condition patient tolerability surgery.
