Closing the radial forearm donor site after mouth surgery
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how best to close the skin area on the forearm after surgeons take tissue to rebuild part of the mouth. If you need a radial forearm tissue reconstruction, you may be asked about outcomes afterward using English questionnaires.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a mouth (oral cavity) condition—cancer or non-cancer—that needs a radial forearm tissue reconstruction
- You do not have serious health problems that would make surgery unsafe, including cancer that has spread to other parts of the body
- You do not have an existing problem with using both hands (for example, major old scars that affect both hands)
- You can complete post-surgery questionnaires in English
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a new surgical reconstruction method can improve outcomes for people with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (a type of head and neck cancer). The goal is to rebuild the area using a tissue flap while reducing problems where the tissue is taken from.
This trial looks at how well a specific reconstructive surgery (using a flap from your back) works for people with oral squamous cell carcinoma. It helps doctors understand outcomes and recovery after this type of surgery.
This study looks at how connective tissue in the forearm develops and how it behaves in people needing reconstructive surgery. It may help surgeons better plan and improve reconstruction for conditions like radial dysplasia, or for other injuries requiring similar surgery.
This trial tests a new surgical flap (using tissue from the scalp) to repair defects in the mouth after cancer surgery. It may be an option for patients with certain jawbone defects that haven't been operated on before in a specific area.
This trial tests a special radiation technique for people who have had reconstructive surgery for oral cavity cancer. The goal is to see if we can spare the flap (the rebuilt tissue) from high radiation doses to improve healing and quality of life.
This study is testing how well the roof of your mouth heals after a gum graft procedure. It aims to find better ways to help this area heal faster and more comfortably.
