Abstract:
Rotation advancement flaps are a challenge for dermatosurgery and in particular the severe clinical cases, mainly affecting skin tumors in the facial area or the so-called ˝high risk areas˝. The proximity of these areas to important vital structures (such as nerves and blood vessels) also determines the need for more precision when performing this type of manipulation. Teamwork and preoperative planning are crucial and provide a number of advantages in terms of the timely achievement of the therapeutic endpoints. We present two cases of patients with squamous cell carcinomas in the periocular and periorbital areas treated by rotation advancement flaps. The problems that may arise within these interventions and the prerequisites for the latter to be successful are discussed.
