Novel Interpositional Vein Grafting for Pedicle Extension of Island Pedicle Flaps

Island pedicle flaps for the repair of a nose, cheek, and lip defect.

Comparative analysis between nasolabial and island pedicle flaps in the ala nose reconstruction. Prospective study.

The goals of reconstructing deformities of the face secondary to skin cancer include reconstructing the area with similar tissue. The comparison between different types of local flaps for reconstruction of nasal ala is presented in a prospective, randomized study.

Shark island pedicle flap for repairing of basal cell carcinoma.

Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. We describe a single-staged technique for correction of nasal ala defect after the excision of a basal cell carcinoma. This technique allows correction of surgical defects of the ala rebuilding the original anatomy, maintaining cosmetic units, without need for a graft.

Periosteal Pedicle Flap Harvested during Vestibular Extension for Root Coverage

Normally, the vestibular depth is increased first followed by a second surgery for root coverage. The present case report describes a single-stage technique for vestibular extension and root coverage in a sing...
