ABSTRACT
To treat large facial defect (more than 6 cm x 4 cm in diameter) or a wound with bone exposure to atmosphere by less-traumatic, easier-healing reconstruction method, a pedicle flap including facial, neck, posterior auricle and occipital skin flap was designed and transferred, one by one, to repair facial defect as well as other flap donor sites, but occipital skin flap was only used to cover posterior auricle area. After 2-3 years follow-up, well-healed skin flaps with good color, elasticity and sensation were observed in all 16 patients. It is concluded that this method is effective and practical.
