Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the experience of unilateral fan-shaped pedicle flap in repairing facial soft-tissue defects.Methods:From September 2015 to September 2018, 20 patients with facial skin and soft-tissue defects were admitted to the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the PLA, including 12 males and eight females, aged between five and 40 years old, with an average age of 25 years. On the side of the facial defect, a unilateral fan-pedicled subcutaneous pedicle flap, parallel with the skin lines, was designed to repair the defect in a rotation-advancement way.Results:All the 20 cases survived, and the incision healed in the first stage. All the patients were followed up for three months to 1 year. The facial organs showed no displacement. The scar of the incision was not obvious, and the patients were satisfied with the appearance, which achieved the cosmetic repair effect.Conclusions:To repair the soft-tissue defect around the facial organs, the unilateral fan-shaped pedicle flap is a good choice. It provides a simple and easy method. The damage is slight, the flap blood supply is stable, and the outcome is satisfactory.
