There are several indications for resecting the bony chin, such as squamous cell carcinoma, sarcoma, or benign tumors of the jaw such as ameloblastoma. Several techniques for reconstruction of the bony chin, such as the use of metal plates and also revascularized free bone grafts of the iliac crest, fibula, or scapula, are common. In the case of poor vascular supply, however, alternative techniques may be necessary. In this report, a new technique is described using pedicled bone flaps from both sagittally split mandibular stumps following chin resection. These flaps were pedicled on the mylohyoid muscles and advanced to restore the continuity of the mandible. An advantage of this procedure was minimization of the soft tissue defect, making repair easier. Morbidity of the resection and reconstruction was thus reduced, and recovery of the patient was very quick.
