Close-flap covering of an oval skin defect by means of combined stretching and swivel flap plastic surgery.

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

  • After oval excision of the skin lesion, a caudal swivel flap is cut, the inner boundary of which is formed by the lower edge of the defect. After undermining the surrounding skin, the primary defect oval above the tip of the caudal flap is first minimized by means of expansion plastic and primary suture. Then the mobilized flap is swung into the residual defect and sutured. The suture is curved and Y-shaped.
  • Indications: Infraorbital region (Fig. 1 a-c), outer eyelid angle.
