    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Skin grafting and flap surgery are common reconstructive techniques.
    • Achieving optimal functional and aesthetic results in hand and neck reconstruction can be challenging.

    Observation:

    • Radically thinned flaps, raised or defatted to the subdermal plane, were utilized.
    • These flaps were applied for skin coverage in hand and neck defects and for thumb post construction.

    Findings:

    • No further thinning of the flaps was necessary after preparation.
    • The technique yielded optimal functional and aesthetic results.

    Implications:

    • This method simplifies reconstructive procedures for hand and neck.
    • It offers a reliable approach for achieving superior outcomes in complex reconstructions.
