Skin Cancer

3.1K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • The lateral arm flap is a versatile option for reconstructing various defects.
  • Its use in facial subunit reconstruction after tumor ablation has not been previously reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the lateral arm flap for facial temple subunit defect reconstruction.
  • To assess the reconstructive potential and outcomes of this flap in the temple region.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 12 patients undergoing temple reconstruction using lateral arm free flaps.
  • Patients had malignant tumors excised, with flap sizes ranging from 3x4 cm to 5x7 cm.
  • Postoperative administration of Alprostadil (PGE1).

Main Results:

  • All 12 patients achieved successful coverage with lateral arm fasciocutaneous flaps.
  • No flap-related complications were reported.
  • Good functional outcomes and donor arm mobility were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The lateral arm flap is a viable and advantageous option for medium-sized facial temple defects.
  • Successful reconstruction was achieved with excellent functional and aesthetic results.
  • This study validates the use of lateral arm flaps in a novel facial application.
