Abstract
Carcinoma of oral cavity requires resection followed by reconstruction. For the carcinoma of alveolus, lower gingivo-buccal sulcus or gingivo-lingual sulcus of middle 3rd bony reconstruction is required. Generally free fibula flap is preferred. But free fibula cannot be harvested if there is peripheral vascular disease. Here we present a case of carcinoma alveolus of mandible middle 3rd in a case of peripheral vascular disease. Deep circumflex illiac artery used instead of free fibula flap. Patient had a very good outcome, facial cosmesis was good, no hernia in the donor site.
