- Abstract
- The tongue has important roles in deglutition, speech, airway protection, taste, and sexual. function, and its amputation is very serious. Using supermicrosurgical. techniques, we replanted successfully a patient's tongue, the distal part of which had been amputated by the bite of another person, through the anastomosis of a Mood vessel that was only 0.7-0.8 mm. The result was that the state of the replanted tongue was relatively good both functionally and aesthetically, and the patient was very satisfied.
