　　Background: The defects resulting from head and neck tumor surgeries present a reconstructive challenge to surgeons.The submental flap is good method in head and neck reconstruction.However,this flap has the risk of having to give up because of anatomy variations,operator’s mistake and other reasons,even if it has been raised intraoperatively.This will fall the surgeons into an embarrassing situation.In this article,we present our experience in modified incision design of submental flap.This method outlines three flaps simultaneously.When we find the submental flap can not be used during the operation,we have two other alternatives.Combination with the retrospective analysis of this flap we performed,we hope this article will be helpful in expanding the awareness and application of this useful system of flap.
