Background: Local facial flaps are frequently used reconstructive option and are carrying very good outcome as regard matching, texture, and less scarring. This study was designed retrospectively to evaluate the flap survival and aesthetic outcome of the three commonly used local facial flaps. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of 175 patients whom were managed by local fasciocutanous...

BACKGROUND The ala of the nose is vascularized by a dense net of perforators originating from the lateral nasal artery or the angular artery. These vessels reach the ala in a cascade fashion from the alar groove/lateral nasal wall. Based on these vessels, a V/Y flap can be dissected with a wide range of mobility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients underwent reconstruction of the nose by ...

CONTEXT The most common malignant tumours of the face are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. While the results of skin graft are less than satisfactory for large areas to cover, distant flaps are bulky with a poor colour match. Local fasciocutaneous flaps provide reasonable option for reconstruction of facial defects with good colour and texture match and good success r...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes of the cleft lift procedure and V-Y flap technique in the treatment of recurrent pilonidal sinus disease (PSD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 51 patients who underwent cleft lift procedure and 43 patients who underwent fasciocutaneous V-Y flap technique were evaluated. The demographic characteristics, previous operations, duration of sy...

INTRODUCTION The technique most commonly used for penile lengthening is the release of the suspensory ligament in combination with an inverted V-Y skin plasty. This technique has drawbacks such as the possibility of reattachment of the penis to the pubis, a hump that forms at the base of the penis, in addition to alteration in the angle of erection. AIM In this work, we describe a new techniq...

We present our experience with the use of local fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps in the reconstruction of 10 axillae in 6 patients for large defects following wide excision of long-standing Hidradenitis suppurativa of the axilla. The defects were closed with local V-Y subcutaneous island flaps. A single flap from the chest wall was sufficient for moderate defects. However, for larger defec...

Amputation of the fingertip is a common injury of the upper extremity. Over the years, a variety of reconstructive techniques have been described. For dorsal oblique and transverse amputations, the Atasoy V-Y advancement flap is a popular choice because it preserves finger length, sensation and function. However, closure under tension remains a problem, putting the flap at risk of partial or fu...

dehiscence. Closure is performed by tissue planes, with a V-Y suture. Close follow-up is required in the immediate postoperative period, with regular wound care. The cosmetic result of the double hatchet flap can be excellent, as tissue of similar characteristics is used, with preservation of hair, texture, and thickness,3 rapid healing, and minimal scarring and comorbidity. Possible complicati...
