Analyzing Local Flaps for Coverage of Facial Defects: A Retrospective Study | Chapter 17 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 Background: During communication and emotional expression, the face is the focal point of attention. Traumatic facial abnormalities and the removal of skin cancers are rather prevalent. The location, size, and underlying cause of the defect, as well as the projected functional morbidity, the patient's medical history, and the surgical feasibility of the defect, all influence how it is treated. The purpose was to look into the defect coverage, results, and complications of various local flaps.

The investigation was conducted as a retrospective cohort study. From January 2016 to December 2019, 92 patients with facial abnormalities were included in the trial, according to the findings. The size and location of the deformity determined the reconstructive possibilities. Patients were monitored for six to twelve months.

The most frequent malignant tumours of the face are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Local flaps are always preferable over skin transplants because they generate a better colour and texture match as well as a vascularized soft tissue cover for the skeleton that is contracture-resistant.

Conclusions: A variety of local flaps were used to cover the facial deformities of the 92 patients in our study with few post-operative complications.
