Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Fingertip injuries often involve significant soft-tissue loss.
  • Traditional V-Y advancement flaps have limitations in treating volar defects.
  • The Segmüller flap, described in 1976, is a known technique for fingertip reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modification of the homodigital lateral V-Y advancement flap.
  • To evaluate the versatility and application of the extended Segmüller flap.
  • To report outcomes of 100 cases treated with this modified flap.

Main Methods:

  • A modified homodigital lateral V-Y advancement flap technique was employed.
  • The flap design was extended to address volar soft-tissue defects.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A series of 100 fingertip injury cases were treated and analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified Segmüller flap demonstrated increased versatility.
    • Successful reconstruction was achieved in cases with considerable volar soft-tissue loss.
    • Outcomes of 100 flaps were documented and reviewed.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Segmüller flap is a versatile option for fingertip reconstruction.
    • This technique effectively addresses injuries with volar soft-tissue defects.
    • The study supports the utility of this flap modification in hand surgery.
