This study highlights the supratrochlear and supraorbital vessel-based island flap for forehead defect reconstruction. This technique minimizes scarring and offers a simple, effective one-stage solution for patients with malignant tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncologic Reconstruction
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Reconstruction of unilateral forehead defects after malignant tumor excision presents challenges in minimizing scarring.
  • Traditional methods may result in significant cosmetic defects and prolonged healing times.

Observation:

  • The supratrochlear and supraorbital vessel-based island flap was employed for forehead defect reconstruction.
  • This flap utilizes vascularity from the supratrochlear and supraorbital vessels to maintain tissue viability.

Findings:

  • The vessel-based island flap offers a one-stage reconstruction procedure with a short operation time.
  • This technique allows for good texture and color matching, resulting in inconspicuous scarring.
  • The procedure is relatively simple to perform, enhancing its clinical applicability.

Implications:

  • This flap technique provides an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for forehead reconstruction post-tumor removal.
  • Minimizing scarring improves patient outcomes and satisfaction in oncologic reconstruction.
  • The simplicity and efficiency of the procedure make it a valuable option for surgeons.
