Objective: Mandibular defects are generally observed as composite defects which soft tissue defects are accompanied to bone defects. This situation may cause difficulties in choosing the surgical method during the reconstruction period. The purpose of this paper is to convey our clinical approach and results on composite mandibular defects. Methods: Eleven patients, applying to our clinic between 2011 and 2015, were operated in a single session with the team of otorhinolaryngology, because of oromandibular cancer.

Results: While mandibular resection was performed on all patients, skin resection was performed on six patients, mucosa resection was applied on eight patients
