Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • The lips are highly susceptible to skin cancer due to cumulative sun exposure.
  • Surgical excision is frequently necessary for lip skin cancers, even with early detection.
  • Reconstruction is a critical component following surgical defect removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common local flap reconstruction techniques for lip defects after skin cancer surgery.
  • To outline the indications, risks, and benefits of various lip reconstruction methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and commonly utilized local cutaneous and myocutaneous flaps for lip reconstruction.
  • Discussion of surgical principles and patient selection criteria.

Main Results:

  • Mohs micrographic surgery offers the best outcomes for nonmelanoma lip skin cancers, minimizing recurrence and maximizing tissue preservation.
  • Local flaps provide versatile options for reconstructing various lip defect sizes and complexities.
  • The choice of flap depends on defect characteristics, patient factors, and desired aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Effective reconstruction is essential following lip skin cancer surgery to restore form and function.
  • Understanding the nuances of different local flaps allows for tailored surgical planning and improved patient results.
