ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
It is challenging to repair postoperative defect caused by skin tumor resection on the maxillofacial, which not only affects appearance but also impairs functions. To better repair skin defect on the maxillofacial, the application value of V-Y vascular myocutaneous flap was introduced in our study.METHODS:
Between June 2011 and December 2018, 16 patients with maxillofacial skin tumors who received extensive resection were enrolled in our study. The defect on the maxillofacial was repaired by V-Y vascular myocutaneous flap. The follow-up period lasted for 12 to 24 months.RESULTS:
All 16 cases of myocutaneous flaps survived with 1 case of partial venous congestion and 1 case of partial distal necrosis. No recurrence occurred during follow-up. The color and texture of myocutaneous flaps like those of the surrounding skin.CONCLUSION:
Featured with better freeness, larger repair range and aesthetic effect of "kite" flaps, V-Y vascular myocutaneous flap can repair the superior border of zygomatic arch pedicled with facial artery and repair 1.5âcm above the superior border of zygomatic arch pedicled with transverse facial artery for elderly patients in Asia.
