Background: Because the face symbolises a person's entire personality, sufficient cosmetic repair is essential. Treatment options for a skin malignant lesion on the face vary depending on the size and location of the defect.
The goal of this
study was to see how versatile a local flap could be for a defect formed by a
large local excision of a skin malignant lesion on the face.
Methods: Between
June 2016 and May 2018, we included 30 instances of skin cancer on the face in
our Institute. In the age category of 45 to 65 years, 20 patients (66.6 percent)
were male and 10 patients (33.3 percent) were female. Basal cell carcinoma was
found in 17 cases, squamous cell carcinoma in 10 cases, and malignant melanoma
in three cases. Tumors were surgically removed with safe margins, and
abnormalities were repaired with local face flaps. The early surgical problems
were assessed, and the cosmetic outcome and patient satisfaction were assessed
six months later.
Results: Thirty
patients with small to medium-sized defects (3-6 cm) were treated with the V-Y
advancement flap, seven instances with the nasolabial flap, eight cases with
the forehead flap, four cases with the Limberg flap, and four cases with the
cheek advancement flap. There were no problems after surgery, and the
functional and aesthetic outcomes were both satisfactory. After 6 months, 15
patients (50 percent) had excellent outcomes, whereas 8 patients had good
results (27 percent), and 5 patients had fair results (17 percent).
