Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Fasciocutaneous flaps are a primary choice for reconstruction after tumor removal, lesion excision, and trauma repair.
  • Traditional methods sometimes face challenges with donor-site morbidity and tissue preservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a newly designed V-Y fasciocutaneous island flap for reconstructive surgery.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this flap in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • A V-Y like island flap with superior and inferior portions was designed.
  • Reconstruction utilized the superior part, with vascular supply from the inferior portion.
  • 180 patients underwent reconstruction using this flap between 2012 and 2015.

Main Results:

  • All flaps survived, with only 2 cases of partial necrosis requiring secondary treatment.
  • Donor sites healed primarily without skin grafting.
  • Excellent aesthetic and functional restoration was achieved in all cases, with high patient satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • The described V-Y fasciocutaneous flap provides a reliable and effective reconstructive option.
  • It offers advantages including minimal donor-site morbidity, good tissue recruitment, and favorable aesthetic outcomes.
  • This flap technique is suitable for various reconstructive needs in plastic surgery.
