This article gives a good description of this free flap reconstruction along with its limitations. Postoperative results are well described, including speech and dental rehabilitation.

This is the largest recently published series on lilac crest/internal oblique reconstruction of palatomaxillary defects. There is a good description of the possible pitfalls in this type of reconstruction.

Post-operative results are described in detail including dental rehabilitation.
