[The "kite" flap in the reconstruction after excision of a basal cell carcinoma of the face. Our experience with 45 cases].

The "Kite" flap is a triangular protruding flap attached underneath the skin. The authors present the results of the utilisation of this type of flap in reconstruction after removal of baso-cellular cancer of the face. After a brief historical and technical recall, they contemplate a study of 45 patients operated on by this method. The preferential localisations of this type of flap are analyzed (sub-orbital region, naso-genien region, labiogenien region). Other techniques of repair are discussed region by region. However, the authors emphasize the facility of execution of the "Kite" flap and its excellent aesthetic results, its principal use being in the reconstruction of the sub-orbital region.
