Carcinological surgery of the pharyngo-velar region poses delicate problems of reconstruction in exereses exceeding the midline. To avoid false alimentary pathways through the nose and phonatory problems (open rhinolalia), we propose the use, with or without the combination of a muscular cutaneous flap, of a free antecubital flap or of a latter is apparently fully satisfactory on the functional plane with the additional advantage of not leaving any aesthetic sequellae.
