ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the application and outcome of nasolabial island pedicle flap in reconstruction of medium-sized skin defects in the face.Methods:
From August 1997 to January 2005, advancement or transposition island pedicle flaps harvested from nasolabial fold were utilized to repair 23 medium-sized skin defects due to surgical removal of skin tumors or scars in the face. The size of the lesions ranged from 2.0 cm × 1.9 cm to 5.0 cm × 4.5 cm.Results:
All flaps survived with primary healing postoperatively. With a follow-up ranging from 1-40 months, scars were camouflaged into natural skin tension line. No visible dog-ear, distortion of surrounding skin, or displacement of the anatomical landmarks were observed.Conclusion:
The nasolabial island flap with a subcutaneous pedicle may be a reliable and ideal method for the reconstruction of medium-sized skin defects in the face.
