Close-flap plasty in which a circular segmented skin flap is transposed from the submandibular region via the edge of the lower jaw into a skin defect of the buccal region by rotational displacement.
General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
The surgical technique of incision and flap formation is similar to that of Imre's rotational flap plastic surgery. The transition area from the lower jaw to the neck is particularly at risk of developing hypertrophic scars or contractures. For this reason, the arc-shaped incision should run parallel to or at an acute angle to the edge of the lower jaw over as large a distance as possible. The convex side of the circular segment flap should be aligned medially.
