This study presents three cases of crossed leg expanded flaps, detailing the surgical technique. Prior expansion of these flaps effectively minimizes donor site scarring, offering a significant advantage in reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Crossed leg expanded flaps are utilized in reconstructive surgery for covering defects.
  • Donor site morbidity, particularly scarring, is a concern with traditional flap techniques.

Observation:

  • The authors detail their experience with three cases employing crossed leg expanded flaps.
  • The operative technique for flap creation and inset is described.
  • The process of prior expansion of the flap is a key element of the technique.

Findings:

  • Prior expansion of the crossed leg flap was demonstrated to reduce the donor site scar.
  • The technique allows for coverage of defects while managing donor site aesthetics.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a method to improve outcomes in reconstructive surgery by minimizing visible scarring.
  • Further investigation into the long-term benefits and broader applicability of expanded flaps is warranted.
