Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Reconstruction

Background:

  • Subcutaneously pedicled island flaps (SPIF) are local flaps used in reconstructive surgery.
  • These flaps offer skin with similar texture and color to the recipient site.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the creation and characteristics of SPIF.
  • To highlight the benefits and low complication rates of SPIF.

Main Methods:

  • Incising an island of skin down to the fatty tissue.
  • Carefully disconnecting flap connections while preserving nutrient vessels.

Main Results:

  • SPIF are highly mobile and simple to create.
  • Flap viability is excellent.
  • Side effects such as pincushioning are rare with appropriate technique.
