My question as well - can you still speak and swallow? Did the surgeon have to create a flap?

My husband had surgery and treatments last year for mouth and neck cancer. They did transplant a flap as well as vein and artery from his forearm to inside his mouth. He can eat and talk very well, he just can’t open his mouth as much. He sometime needs to cut things like hamburgers. Do all the mouth exercises after surgery and treatments.
