Extended Abbé flaps offer a solution for large upper lip and midface defects. This study evaluates their vascular supply and presents cases for improved reconstructive techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Reconstructing large upper lip defects involving midfacial aesthetic subunits is challenging.
  • Classical Abbé flaps are effective for small defects but insufficient for larger ones.

Observation:

  • Cadaver injections were performed to map the vascular territory of the inferior labial artery, focusing on the submental region.
  • This anatomical evaluation informed the design of extended Abbé flaps.

Findings:

  • Extended Abbé flaps were successfully designed and utilized for combined upper lip and midfacial reconstruction.
  • The vascular mapping demonstrated the feasibility of extending the flap's reach.

Implications:

  • This technique provides a viable option for complex facial reconstructions.
