ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate performance of O-Z-O flaps in repair of adjacent facial skin defects.Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted. A total of 60 patients with adjacent facial skin defects receiving O-Z-O flap repair were collected from the Third People′ s Hospital of Hangzhou from 2015 to 2018, including 50 with pigmented nevus, 4 with seborrheic keratosis, 3 with verruca vulgaris, 2 with basal cell carcinoma and 1 with squamous cell carcinoma. Among the 60 patients, 14 were males and 46 were females, with the age being 18 - 75 years. According to the condition of skin lesions, in situ resection was performed, and the optimal incision was designed; the "flap bridge", that is, the normal tissue between adjacent defects, was severed; according to the skin tension line and wrinkle line, residual ends of the two flap bridges were interlaced with each other, sutured and fixed interruptedly, and the wounds were repaired.Results:
The skin defects could be completely covered by O-Z-O flaps in the 60 patients. All the patients received primary healing of incisions without scar hyperplasia after operation.Conclusions:
The O-Z-O flap has advantages of flexible design and small incisions, and can be used for tension-reducing suture after excision of adjacent skin lesions. It is a good choice for repair of adjacent facial skin defects with satisfactory clinical effect.
