The treatment and management of patients with T4b oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) has always been a strong topic of discussion and we commend the efforts made by Kumar et al.1 in their study assessing the role of the structures involved in T4b OCSCC. The authors performed a retrospective analysis of T4 OCSCC treated with surgery and the structures involved, and a comparative survival analysis was done. We are thankful to the authors for sharing their results, which may have therapeutic implications in addressing the surgical resection of T4b OCSCC.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyse the literature on the infrahyoid myocutaneous flap (IHMCF) and evaluate its clinical outcomes. The MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched (inception to December 31, 2021). Meta-analyses were then conducted to estimate the overall rates of partial flap loss, total flap loss, salivary fistula, and surgical revision. The 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria included 768 patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction with 773 IHMCF. (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
