Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Lower lip defect reconstruction presents significant functional and aesthetic challenges.
  • Evaluating the outcomes of Karapandzic-type flaps is crucial for optimizing patient results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the functional and aesthetic outcomes of Karapandzic-type flaps in lower lip defect reconstruction.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this reconstructive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing lower lip defect repair.
  • Analysis of functional outcomes, aesthetic results, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • Fifty patients with defects ranging from 20% to 95% were included.
  • All patients achieved preserved oral competency and satisfactory aesthetics, with no microstomia.
  • An 8% complication rate was observed, including wound infection and dehiscence, with no significant difference based on age, radiation history, or defect size.

Conclusions:

  • Karapandzic-type flaps are versatile and reliable for various lower lip defects.
  • This one-stage procedure yields superior functional and aesthetic results compared to other flap options.
  • The technique minimizes the risk of functional microstomia.
