Abstract:
V-Y flaps vascularized by perforators have gained great popularity in the last years. The advantages over randomized local flaps are the significantly greater arc of rotation and transfer length as well as less lymphatic congestion. We introduce a supraorbital V-Y myocutaneous perforator flap for forehead reconstruction. The vascular basis of this flap are the perforators from the ophthalmic artery passing through the supraorbital foramen and incisura frontalis.
