Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical application and effect of sideburns aesthetic reconstruction with local flaps.
Methods:Between June 2012 and June 2017, there were 12 cases of patients with Benign tumor which is in the sideburn , including 7 Male patients, 5 female patients, thier ages are from 37 to 68 years old.The tumor size ranged from 0.5 cm×1.0 cm to 1.5 cm×2.5 cm, and the defects, size ranged from 1.0 cm× 1.2 cm to 1.5 cm× 3.0 cm. Single leaf flaps, double leaves flaps or local flaps which are on the ipsilateral sideburn or in the hairy area behind the ear are designed for sideburns reconstruction according to the size and shape of the defect, The flaps size ranged from 1.5 cm× 2.5 cm to 1.8 cm× 3.5 cm.
Results:All flaps with 12 cases of patients survived completely with no flap blood supply obstacles, and the incision healed well, all patients were followed up for 6-24 months with no recurrence of the tumor , and the incision scars are hidden in the sideburns, And the sideburn showed satisfactory effect of aesthetic reconstruction with good symmetric cosmetic effect.
Conclusions:The local flaps have less injury in the surgery area , simple surgical approach, hidden incision scars, reliable blood supply and high survival rate, which do not affect the sideburns symmetry.Aesthetic result can be achieved by local flaps in the reconstruction of defect after resection of benign tumor at sideburn.
