Abstract:
Study on 100 patients with contractile scars on faciocervical area treated in Central Military Hospital No.108 from January 1995 to January 2004. The subjects were divided into groups with different mentocervical angle reconstruction methods such as using local flaps, skin graft or fasciocutaneous flaps. The results: the scars on faciocervical area often changed mentocervical angle, which affected greatly to aestheticism and function. The reconstruction of mentocervical angle needed to base on lesion’s levels to find out an appropriate treatment. The best results was achieved by using local flaps, however, it was only suitable for small lesions, less cervical deformations. Using skin graft and fasciocutaneous flaps was applied for serious lesions and could still make a rather standard mentocervical angle .
