Microsurgical dissection was used with satisfactory results to construct a microvascular island pedicle flap for the coverage of small facial tissue defects in 3 patients. The advantages of this flap include improved survival, excellent mobility, and elimination of cosmetic problems usually encountered with rotation or distant flaps.
