The triangular flap repair is one of the most common techniques used in cleft lip surgery. However, inability to address the nasal deformity and loss of orbicularis wholeness accompanied with incomplete reorientation have been two major handicaps of the triangular repair. Therefore, we developed our personal technique, called the triangular with ala nasi (TAN) repair, including a perialar incis...

Introduction. The reconstruction of columella defects is still regarded as a challenging procedure due to the very specific anatomy and limited local regional flap options. Furthermore, texture color tissue pose difficulties in choosing right method reconstruction. Case report. report presents patient who underwent complex defect using Schmid-Meyer flap. represents tubular with an internal supr...

A series of eight axillary skin defect reconstructions in seven patients using the lateral thoracic island fasciocutaneous flap is presented. The defects originated from wide excision of recurrent hidradenitis axillaris suppurativa and in one case from radical melanoma resection with axillary lymph node clearance. The technique used to cover the resulting large defects is advancement or transpo...

Depressed nasal floor extension into the nostril in cleft patients is difficult to solve. Suggested ways for solving this problem need skin incisions other than routine open rhinoplasty incisions. Nasolabia subcutaneous flap makes the infrastructure in depressed nasal floor in cleft patients. Alar advancement and medial nasal floor triangular flap cover it.

The nasal ala is a challenging area for surgical reconstruction, with thick sebaceous skin, the lack of an ample tissue reservoir, and an adjacent free margin. Numerous flaps have been reported for the repair of alae defects. A 71-year-old woman with simultaneous basal cell carcinomas involving both nasal alae was treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. The surgical defects measured 1.5×1.5 cm on...

Large, full-thickness defects of the scalp create a common reconstructive dilemma following Mohs micrographic surgery. In cases with exposed calvarium, transposition flap(s) followed by split-thickness skin graft(s) to secondary defect is an effective method reconstruction that allows for same-day repair, full coverage, and good functional outcomes. Herein, we present large utilizing bilateral ...

The local fasciocutaneous flap has the advantage of low donor-site morbidity when used for the coverage of lower limb defects. However, flap reliability remains a major problem with its use. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of preserving perforators to the tip of conventional local fasciocutaneous flaps to improve its vascularity. The technical considerations of raisin...

STUDY DESIGN Case series. PURPOSE To describe paraspinal transposition flap for coverage of sacral soft tissue defects. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Soft tissue defects in the sacral region pose a major challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Goals of sacral wound reconstruction are to provide a durable skin and soft tissue cover adequate for even large sacral defects; minimize recurrence; and m...

The purpose of this report is to highlight how an unusual, outdated, unpopular and overlooked reconstructive method such as the masseter flap can be a reliable, straightforward and effective solution for oral reconstruction in selected cases. We report the transposition of the masseter crossover flap in two previously pre-treated patients presenting a second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma...

A variety of flaps are available to cover skin defects after surgery or trauma in the head and neck area. The bilobed flap is a double transposition flap commonly used in reconstruction of small-to-medium skin defects of the face where skin is less mobile. However, larger defects can also be effectively treated with a bilobed flap in certain cases. The classic indication to cover a small defect...
