Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of expanded distant skin flaps for the facial and cervical deformities.
METHODS96 patients with facial and cervical deformities who underwent reconstructive surgery with expanded distant skin flaps were retrospectively reviewed and followed up.
RESULTSGood results were achieved in 95 cases. Necrosis happened in the distal end of one flap. The patients were followed up for 1-8 years with good cosmetic results, such as well-matched flap texture and color.
CONCLUSIONThe expanded distant skin flap is suitable and reliable for facial and cervical deformities.
