Combined flaps effectively reconstruct wide-range facial defects, preserving aesthetic subunits and natural contours. This technique ensures good tissue match and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Facial defects present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional methods may not adequately address large or complex facial wounds.
  • A need exists for techniques preserving facial aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of using combined flaps for facial defect reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of combined flaps in restoring facial form and function.
  • To highlight the application of facial aesthetic subunit principles in reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Combined two or more flaps for repairing wide-range facial wounds.
  • Adhered to facial aesthetic subunit principles for structural preservation.

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction

Published on: December 5, 2025

  • Designed incision lines along natural facial contours and wrinkles.
  • Utilized local flaps with grafts for large defects (18 cases).

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully repaired 124 wide-range facial defects (2.5x4 to 9x10 cm) using combined flaps (April 1996-May 2008).
    • Achieved uneventful healing with complete flap survival and no complications.
    • Demonstrated excellent color, texture, and contour match with surrounding tissues in 87 follow-up patients.
    • Resulted in hidden incision lines and no deformities of the eyelid, upper lip, or nasal ala.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined flaps are an effective method for reconstructing wide-range facial defects.
    • The technique successfully maintains facial aesthetic subunits and natural contours.
    • Satisfactory cosmetic results with good tissue match and minimal deformities were achieved.
