RESUMO
Objective To summerize the experiences of using random flaps to reconstruct soft tissue defects of the periorbital region.Methods Periorbital soft tissue defects in 65 patients underwent reconstruction surgery by random flaps with pedicle 1.0～2.5 cm in width.The length of the flap ranged from 1.0 cm to 3.5 cm,with the rate of length to width less than 2.5:1.Detail plans on flap and incision design were made based on the aesthetic and functional problems.Results Phenomena of blister and purplish red in the edge or the distal area of the flaps were observed in 3 cases,and were disappeared after corresponding treatment.The other flaps survived and the wound healed primarily after operation.The color and the texture of the flaps matched well to the adjacent tissues with satisfied function and aesthetic Results .Conclusion Random flap is an ideal substitute to repair periorbital soft tissue defects.
