Notching, or 'whistle deformity', is a common vermilion deformity among patients with cleft lips. Vermilion volume deficiency may also be present secondary to trauma or tumour excision. Herein, we present a new flap model to repair such vermilion deformities. Six patients were included in the study. Running V-flaps prepared from the oral mucosa were used. While the underlying cause of vermilion deficiency was cleft-lip surgery in four of the patients, the indication for surgery was trauma related in two patients. In all patients, the volume deficiency was corrected. No patient exhibited scarring, colour mismatch or asymmetry. We believe that our new flap model can be a reliable alternative in secondary vermilion deficiencies.
切迹,或称为“哨状畸形”,是唇裂患者常见的唇红畸形。唇红体积的不足也可能是由于创伤或肿瘤切除引起的。在此,我们提出了一种新的皮瓣模型来修复这种唇红畸形。本研究纳入了 6 名患者。采用从口腔黏膜制备的连续 V 形皮瓣。其中 4 名患者唇红缺陷的原因为唇裂手术,2 名患者手术的原因为创伤。所有患者的体积缺陷均得到纠正。无患者出现瘢痕、颜色不匹配或不对称。我们认为,我们的新型皮瓣模型可以成为继发唇红缺陷的可靠替代方法。
