Summary of Expanded Multi-Lobe Cervicofacial Flap for Pediatric Skin Lesion Repair
New Information: Introduction of a surgical technique, the Expanded Multi-Lobe Cervicofacial Flap, for treating benign skin lesions in the zygomatic-infraorbital regions of pediatric patients.
Importance: This method addresses the high demands for functional and aesthetic outcomes in pediatric patients, which is crucial for their appearance and mental health.
Contribution to Literature: The study combines the classical cervicofacial advancement rotation flap with tissue expansion to extend the coverage area of the flap.
Results: The retrospective study included 21 pediatric patients with a follow-up period of more than 12 months (average 20.8 ± 6.7 months). Post-treatment, the flaps were in good condition with no facial organ displacement, and the patients’ guardians expressed satisfaction with the outcomes.
Conclusion: The Expanded Multi-Lobe Cervicofacial Flap is an effective surgical method for repairing benign skin lesions in the pediatric population, meeting both functional and aesthetic requirements.
