Facial reconstruction
From WikiLectures
Defects under the orbit[edit | edit source]
- otary facial flap – we can use it to move tissue from the retroauricular area + the neck
- cervicofacial flap – we rotate the tissue from the area at the angle of the jaw cranially into the defect, we cover the donor defect with a Y-V shift of the chin
Defects in front of the auricule[edit | edit source]
- musculocutaneous flap of the pectoralis major muscle (or trapezius muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle)
- medially pedunculated neck flap with donor area coverage with skin graft (aesthetically worse)
- cervicopectoral rotation flap – extensive dissection required with resulting long scar
- deltopectoral and cervicohumeral lobes
Bucomandibular region[edit | edit source]
- musculocutaneous flap of the pectoralis major muscle
- some loose lobes
