ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Benign skin lesions in zygomatic-infraorbital regions severely influence pediatric patients' appearance as well as mental health. Treatments are difficult for the high requirements of patients' guardians in both function and aesthetics. The present study aims to introduce a surgical method, Expanded Multi-Lobe Cervicofacial Flap, which combines the advantages of the classical cervicofacial advancement rotation flap and the tissue expansion technique.METHODS:
A total of 21 pediatric patients were enrolled. The treatment process included 2 stages implantation of the skin tissue expander and flap transfer. The excessive skin created by tissue expansion extended the coverage area of the multi-lobe flap.RESULTS:
In this retrospective study, follow-up periods were all more than 12 months (20.8 ± 6.7). In the last follow-ups, the flaps were all in good condition, and No facial organ displacement was observed. The patients' guardians were satisfied with the outcomes.CONCLUSIONS:
Using the expanded multi-lobe cervicofacial flap for the zygomatic-infraorbital benign skin lesion repair is effective, and this method is especially applicable to the pediatric population.Palavras-chave
