Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • Malignant skin tumors frequently necessitate large excisions, especially in the head and neck region.
  • Pedicle flaps are a primary method for reconstructing defects after tumor removal.
  • Local and regional flaps provide optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes in these sensitive areas.

Purpose:

  • To describe the indications and application of pedicle flap techniques in operative dermatology.
  • To highlight the long-standing efficacy and modifications of transposition and advancement flaps.
  • To emphasize the importance of anatomical and morphological considerations in flap surgery.

Summary:

  • Pedicle flaps, including transposition and advancement flaps, are essential for closing defects from malignant skin tumor excisions.
