Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Island pedicle flaps are used for reconstructive challenges.
  • Existing designs have limitations for large or free-margin defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and illustrate the lenticular island pedicle flap (LIPF).

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive technique and illustrative examples provided.
  • Comparison with existing flap designs.

Main Results:

  • The LIPF combines rotational and translational movement, ideal for specific defect types.
  • Its lenticular shape maximizes wound coverage.
  • Facilitates closure in tight skin areas and improves scar aesthetics.

Conclusions:

  • The LIPF offers advantages over traditional flaps relying solely on rotation or translation.
  • Provides better wound closure and aesthetic results in challenging reconstructions.
