What is ……
Flap : It is defined as a tongue of tissue consisting of entire thickness of skin and variable thickness of subcutaneous tissue which is transferred from one site to another and is based on its own blood supply.
![Page 4: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Local / Regional flaps – Goals (Kinnerw & Jeter)
1. Adequate color match2. Adequate thickness – avoid protrusions or
deficiencies3. Preservation of clinically perceivable
sensory innervation4. Sufficient laxity – avoid retraction or
deranged function5. Resultant suture lines of either primary or
secondary defects are restricted to anatomic units and fall within natural skin lines.

Delay of Flap: surgical outlining - before actual transfer -improve circulation.
(1- 2 weeks)
2 basic schools1. Delay improves nutrient blood flow2. Delay increases the tolerance of the
cells to ischemia, allowing them to survive at a lower flow rate.

Classification of flaps
![Page 7: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Local Flap:
skin flap taken from an area close to the wound.
E.g. a wound on the lip may be repaired by a flap from the adjacent cheek.
Regional Flap:
skin flap is not from the adjacent area, but is from the same region of the body.
E.g. a wound on the tip of nose might be repaired with a flap from the forehead.
![Page 8: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
- When a flap is from a different part of the body.
- Any flap taken from below the lower border of the mandible is considered a distant flap.
A local flap repair is usually done in one operation, whereas regional and distant flaps need two or more operations.
Distant Flap:
![Page 9: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Free Flap:
This is a distant flap, but the whole procedure is done in one stage by repairing the donor and recipient blood vessels by microsurgery.

Musculocutaneous system: Vascular system penetrating the underlying muscles and then continues to supply the skin.
Random cutaneous: it is composed of skin and subcutaneous fat with multiple musculocutaneous arteries at the base.
Myocutaneous flap: it is composed of skin, subcutaneous fat and muscle with its blood supply coming from muscular arteries plus numerous terminal musculocutaneous arteries.

Advancement flaps
flap moves in a straight path without any lateral movement into the primary defect.(Burrows Triangle’s)
sites – forehead, brow, cheek.
Single advancement flap:movement is entirely in one direction.
![Page 17: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bilateral advancement flap:
When large tissue is required.Same technique & principle.
used: forehead, mustache area
and posterior neck.

variant of bilateral advancement flap
Useful fordefects at the periphery of the face around the nasal ala and upper lip
dog–ear almost always forms Disadvantages:number of scars- created with the three limbs and Burow’s triangle and with the three point closure
A to T flap:
![Page 19: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
V-y advancement flap: (Herbert flap)
A V shaped flap is moved into a defect with primary closure of the donor area leaving a final Y shaped suture line.
It is pedicled from the underlying subcutaneous tissue rather than the surrounding skin.
Ideal for Lesion in the cheek and alar base
![Page 20: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Variation of advancement flap
cover those areas on the face where there are anatomical structures on one side of the defect that should not be pulled or stretched.
repair of upper lip or over the lateral eyebrow,
Point C moves to point B & point D moves to point F
Burow’s triangular flap
![Page 21: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Panthographic expansion:
variation of the advancement
instead of the flap being advanced as a rectangle, the limbs of the flap are designed at 120º with back cuts at the bottom so that it looks like an inverted tumbler.
The flap is then advanced so that the donor site closes primarily. This technique is particularly useful on the cheek and neck.
![Page 22: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pivot flaps:
Derives its name from the pivot point at the base of the flap as well as its arc of rotation .
When flap moves laterally into the primary defect - transposition flap
when it is rotated into the defect - rotation flap
isosceles triangle- triangulation of the defect
![Page 23: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pivot point
Is the axis around which the transfer takes place. Flap is designed so that the distance from the pivot point to each part of the flap before transfer is atleast equal to the distance to be expected after
transfer
pivot point is on the side of the flap away from the direction of movement of the flap.
![Page 24: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rotation flaps: it is semicircular flap that rotates about a pivot point to fill the defect.
Place the arc closest to the defect higher than the defect itself, to reach the most distal point of the defect
Should be 5-8 times the width of the defect
![Page 25: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Limberg’s flap:
combination of flap rotation and transposition
Disadvantages:Excess tension
Anatomic landmark displacement because the tissue used to resurface the rhomboid defect is borrowed from single area.
Rotation pucker at Point C
Best in temple region between the eyebrows and anterior hair line
BD=DE=EFEF at angle of 60º &Parallel to one side
![Page 31: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dufourmental flap:
variation of a rhomboid flap
Need not convert into 60º rhomboid
Such flaps are designed for closure of square & rectangular defects.
Adv: less closure tension
Disadv: rotation puckering at point C
![Page 32: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Double ‘Z’ rhomboid flap: by Cuono
Advantage over Limberg flap:
Excessive tension is reduced by using two flaps
anatomic landmark displacement in minimized because tissue used to resurface the rhomboid defect is borrowed from two areas.
Rotation pucker seen with Limberg flap is avoided and the resultant scar forms an elongated ‘Z’ plasty.
![Page 33: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Bilobed flap: First by Esser in 1918popularized by Zimany
reconstruct nasal and facial defects and even full thickness cheek defects.
Tension free closure of original and secondary defects.
90º is the optimal angle between the first and second flap
Maximum distortion occurs around the flap bases and the second donor lobe closure sites
Disadvantages: Rotation pucker
![Page 34: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
‘
modification of transposition flap
Difference between transposition and S- plasty
Proximity of the flap base to the defect. It is positioned tangential to the wound margin leaving a ‘V’ shaped flap between them.
Intermediate flap created between the flap and the defect.
First by Szymanowski
S’ plasty: Schrudder
![Page 35: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
60 degree between the flap and the defect will avoid ‘dog ear’
1/5th to 1/6th higher
½ or ¾ the defectwidth

Abbe flap (1898)
V shaped flap raised on a narrow pedicle containing inferior labial vessels and rotated 180o into the opposite lip
In philtral area V can be converted into W. Pedicle divided in 2 weeks.

Bernard modification (1853)
Tumor removed as wedge in central region Incision extend outward from commissures Full-thickness triangles removed lateral to
upper lip (advance bilateral lower cheek flaps)
![Page 72: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Freeman modification (1958)
Only skin & subcutaneous tissue is excised rather than full-thickness lateral triangles
Incisions were extended more laterally to confirm to graceful lines of nasolabial fold.

Webster modification (1960)
‘physiologic flap’ Also hold good for
complete upper lip reconstruction
Tumor excised in quadrilateral shape
Flaps of buccal mucosa provide new vermillion.
Lower cheek flap extended as in schuchardt flap
Vertical lines may be interrupted by Z-plasty

Meyer- Abul- Failat technique (1982)
Recent modification of Bernard. 80 % -central defects Tumor excised as trapezoidal (full-thickness) Upper lip Abbe flap – peri-alar crescents Lower skin incised as schuchardt flap Mucosal lining raised inferior to stensons duct.

Standard fan flap (Gillies & Millard, 1957)
Correction of lower lip if the defects are less than 60% to 80%
Rectangular shaped defect. Incision- full thickness –lip & cheek and passes
round the angle of mouth to upper lip –then continued as a back-cut to the vicinity of the vermillion border
Totally denervated
![Page 76: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Neurovascular Fan Flap (Karpandzic flap,1974)
Nerves & blood vessels –intact.Design reduces the amount of advancement (no
back cut)Incision-carried as in standard flap, extending till
alar base.Drawbacks:MicrostomiaCircum-oral scar.
![Page 77: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Modified fan flap (Mc Gregor, 1983)
When resection extends till angle & when ½ lip is involved.
Defect – square. A vertical full thickness cheek flap is designed
adjacent to defect. Pedicle provides a static pivot point around
which the rectangular flap rotates. At the completion, the angle of the mouth
remains in its original position. Denervated. Can be used for total lower lip reconstruction.

Abbe-Estlander flap (Lip switch technique)
Two stage procedure Commissural defects V shaped flap with medial pedicle is raised
and rotated 180o to the defect in the opposite lip.
The pedicle becomes the new angle of the mouth
![Page 80: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
V excision & primary closure (angle)
When the defect is in the angle alone, a small lesion may be managed with a straight V excision passing directly laterally from the angle with direct closure
![Page 81: Local flaps seminar](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102415/5589a102d8b42ac4608b463b/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Peri-alar crescents & cheek advancement (Webster, 1955)
Uses nasolabial area of availabity Incision is made around the alar base,
extending along the groove between nose and cheek for approximately 1.5 cm.
Lateral to this incision a deep crescent of tissue is removed, the cheek is mobilized off the maxilla – and lip & cheek are advanced medially
Advancement closes the peri-alar defect and reduces the width of defect, on occasion closing it completely.
