Resurfacing Large Skin Defects of the Face and Neck by Optimizing the Utilization of Expanded Forehead Axial-Pattern Flap and Cervicofacial Local Flap.

It is very common for plastic surgeons to experience faciocervical defect, which could be quite challenging and should be processed with a good result. Expanded local flap and expanded axial-pattern flap from the forehead are both applied widely in the reconstruction of faciocervical region. It is crucial to choose appropriate techniques and treat the deformities effectively in the clinical practice. This study presented a treatment strategy for a child with multiple unit deformities in the face and neck by integrating and fully utilizing the expanded forehead axial-pattern flap combined with 2 expanded cervicofacial local flaps.
