    Modified Single-Sling Myocutaneous Island Pedicle Flap: Series of 61 Reconstructions

    DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 11 2008
    ANDREA WILLEY MD
    BACKGROUND Bilevel undermining above and below the transverse nasalis muscle in the construction of a myocutaneous island pedicle flap produces a bilateral or unilateral muscular sling with exceptional vascular supply for reconstruction of defects on the distal nose. We present further modification of the single-sling myocutaneous island pedicle flap that expands its application to a wide variety of nasal defects and further defines its usefulness in nasal reconstruction. METHODS A series of 61 consecutive myocutaneous island pedicle flap reconstructions performed after Mohs surgery between March 2005 and July 2006 are presented. Flap modifications are presented, and advantages and limitations are discussed. RESULTS Flap modifications introduce additional reach and rotational mobility to the flap that permit extension of the flap to defects on the nasal tip and distal ala. CONCLUSION Modifications of the bilevel approach to the single-sling nasalis myocutaneous island pedicle flap further define its practicality in nasal reconstruction and expand its application to a variety of nasal defects.

    Nasalis Island Pedicle Flap in Nasal Ala Reconstruction

    DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 4 2005
    Maryam Asgari MD
    Background. Defects of the nasal ala can be difficult to repair in a one-stage procedure. We describe a laterally based nasalis myocutaneous island pedicle flap to repair small but deep defects of the superior nasal ala. Objective. To describe a single-stage flap for repair of small defects on the nasal ala that confines the repair to one cosmetic unit. Methods. We discuss the anatomy of the flap and illustrate the method of placing the flap. Results. We present several case examples and discuss potential applications of the flap. We also discuss the flap's limitations by citing an example of necrosis. Conclusions. The nasalis myocutaneous island pedicle flap for repair of nasal alar defects is a new application of a one-stage procedure that yields excellent functional and cosmetic results. Knowledge of the limitations and the anatomy of the flap is crucial for a good outcome.

    Advancement Flaps: A Basic Theme with Many Variations

    DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 2005
    Ravi Krishnan MD
    Background. The advancement flap involves the linear advancement of tissue in one direction. Despite its straightforwardness and simple concept, it can be used to close a variety of defects, ranging from small defects on the scalp or extremities to large, complicated defects involving cosmetic units on the face. Objectives. To provide a basic and useful review for the indications, advantages, disadvantages, and techniques for the use of advancement flaps in the reconstruction of defects in dermatologic surgery. Materials and Methods. We performed a literature search for articles discussing advancement flaps and compiled a brief review of our findings. Results. The movement of the advancement flap must be balanced by the blood supply of the flap. The excision of Burow's triangles along various aspects of the advancement flap can increase movement and improve cosmesis of the flap. The types of advancement flaps discussed include the single advancement flap, double advancement flap, A-T flap (O-T flap), Burow's triangle flap (Burow's wedge flap), crescenteric advancement flap, island pedicle flap (V-Y flap), helical rim advancement flap, and facelift flap. Conclusion. Advancement flaps are versatile and useful basic flaps for repairing defects. [source]

    Back to Basics: The Subcutaneous Island Pedicle Flap

    DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 12p2 2004
    Janie M. Leonhardt MD
    Background. Optimal aesthetic reconstruction of cutaneous defects following excisional surgery is largely dependent on the availability of regional donor tissue that shares a likeness of the original tissue in color, texture, sebaceous quality, and thickness. The island pedicle flap is a useful tool in facial reconstruction because it minimizes regional anatomic distortion and optimizes tissue match. Objective. The objective was to review four locations where the island pedicle flap is a well-suited closure tool. Methods. We review flap planning and specific modifications of the island pedicle flap at four sites of closure, reinforcing its role as an important tool in facial reconstruction. Results. Through careful planning and implementation, the island pedicle flap may be used on the nasal tip, the nasal ala, the upper cheek, and the upper lip for closures with much success. Conclusion. The island pedicle flap remains an important tool in the armamentarium for surgeons in the repair of facial defects. [source]
