Recontruction of facial aesthetic subunit with kite flap after resection of benign tumor at supraorbital ridge / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the recontruction of facial aesthetic subunit with kite flap after resection of benign tumor at supraorbital ridge.@*Methods@#From June 2012 to September 2015, 12 cases(8 male and 4 female, aged 34-68 years) with benign tumor at supraorbital ridge underwent tumor resection, following by reconstruction with kite flap. The tumor size ranged from 0.3 cm×1.0 cm to 0.5 cm× 1.0 cm, and the defects size ranged from 0.5 cm× 1.2 cm to 0.8 cm×1.2 cm. The kite flaps were 0.6 cm×1.2 cm to 1.0 cm×1.5 cm.@*Results@#All the 12 flaps survived completely with primary healing and no complication. The scar was inconspicious, which was hidden into brows. The brows showed good symmetric cosmetic effect.@*Conclusions@#The kite flap has reliable blood supply and survival rate, which does not affect the brows symmetry. Aesthetic result can be achieved by Kite flap in the reconstruction of defect after resection of benign tumor at supraorbital ridge.
