Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Anatomical Reconstruction

Background:

  • Umbilical reconstruction presents unique surgical challenges.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in achieving aesthetic and functional outcomes.
  • The C-V flap is a known technique for nipple reconstruction.

Observation:

  • The C-V flap, typically used for nipple reconstruction, was adapted for umbilical reconstruction.
  • The flap was utilized in an inverted fashion to suit the anatomical requirements of the umbilicus.
  • This adaptation was applied to reconstruct various umbilical structures.

Findings:

  • The inverted C-V flap technique demonstrated satisfactory results in umbilical reconstruction.
  • The method proved particularly effective for reconstructing the umbilical ring.
