ABSTRACT
There are many indications for using the peroneal flap in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery, either as a cutaneous flap or combined with a fibula segment. According to the results of our anatomic study and clinical experience with 14 patients, the supramalleolar segment is especially suitable as donor region because the highest density of septocutaneous perforating vessels exists here; hence, the preparation of a long vascular pedicle is possible. The donor site leaves an acceptable defect with appropriate patient selection.

Facial plastic surgery offers numerous possibilities of removing disfigurements and deformities of the face and thus preventing or curing psychic lesions. The causes of such disturbances are pointed out. In selected examples the relevant aspects in childhood, in adults and in advanced age are emphasized. Up-to-date advances in microsurgical grafting methods and a more aggressive technique in neck-lifting show that successful plastic surgery of the face always has preventive or curative effects on psychic lesions.
