    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatologic Surgery

    Background:

    • Cutaneous excisional defects require effective closure methods.
    • Primary closure can lead to undesirable aesthetic outcomes in certain anatomical areas.
    • Alternative techniques like skin grafting and transposition flaps have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of the subcutaneous island pedicle flap.
    • To present the authors' experience with this surgical technique.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved 60 consecutive patients undergoing subcutaneous island pedicle flap reconstruction.
    • The technique involves creating an island of skin and subcutaneous tissue based on a vascular pedicle.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • All 60 procedures were successful, demonstrating the flap's reliability.
  • The flap effectively closed small- to medium-sized defects.
  • It proved particularly useful in preventing distortion of critical facial features.

    • Conclusions:

    • The subcutaneous island pedicle flap is a straightforward and successful technique for cutaneous defect closure.
    • It offers significant advantages compared to skin grafting and transposition flaps.
    • This method is a valuable option for plastic and dermatologic surgeons.
