Reconstruction of defects in the infraorbital, malar, and temporal areas after tumor resection may present problems such as distortion of anatomic points and extra normal skin removal. The "reading man" flap is a recent local flap procedure, which has been used to solve those problems. We report our experience with this procedure, which has been used for the closure of circular defects in 12 patients (7 men and 5 women), aged 68 to 86 years (mean age: 77 years), who had undergone surgical excisions of basal cell carcinomas of the temporal, malar, and infraorbital regions. The functional and aesthetical results were satisfactory in all cases. In our experience, the "reading man" flap is a useful option for the reconstruction of circular defects in these facial areas.
肿瘤切除后眶下、颧骨和颞部区域缺损的重建可能会出现诸如解剖标志点变形和额外切除正常皮肤等问题。“读书者”皮瓣是一种近期应用的局部皮瓣手术方法，已被用于解决这些问题。我们报告了我们应用该手术方法的经验，该方法已用于12例（7例男性和5例女性）年龄在68至86岁（平均年龄：77岁）的患者，这些患者因颞部、颧骨和眶下区域基底细胞癌接受了手术切除，术后圆形缺损得以闭合。所有病例的功能和美学效果均令人满意。根据我们的经验，“读书者”皮瓣是这些面部区域圆形缺损重建的一种有用选择。
