Delayed grafting of midline forehead flap donor defect: utilization of residual flap tissue

The use of a midline forehead flap often creates a secondary defect that is difficult to close primarily. When the pedicle is detached, the residual flap tissue can be utilized as a delayed full-thickness skin graft. This technique combines two surgical principles: delayed grafting and the use of adjacent residual flap pedicle skin that would normally be discarded.
