Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

The midline vertical forehead flap is often overlooked in reconstructive surgery.
Specific anatomical regions present unique reconstruction challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the specific applications and advantages of the midline vertical forehead flap.
To evaluate its efficacy in reconstructions of the nose, orbit, and upper melonasal regions.

Main Methods:

The study focuses on the clinical application and outcomes of the midline vertical forehead flap.
Techniques for flap design, rotation, and donor site closure are implicitly described.

Main Results:

The midline vertical forehead flap provides an excellent color match for reconstructed areas.
