Lip reconstruction technique: A modified Abbe-Estlander with a myomucosal advancement flap

An Aesthetic, Functional, and Low-Invasive Lower Red Lip Reconstruction Using a Mucosal Perforator Flap: A Case Report

“…9 Therefore, modified conventional reconstructive techniques have also been reported. 2,10 In 2009, Oki et al reported a case of one-stage reconstruction of the upper lip using an inferior labial artery pedicled island flap, a modification of the Abbe flap, which generally requires two surgeries. 10 Although the defect in this case was small enough to consider a simple direct closure, this would have required unnecessary excision of the orbicularis oris muscle and lower white lip skin to avoid a dog-ear deformity.…”

“…1 In particular, free edges such as the lips and eyelids, which involve movement, can easily become dysfunctional without high-quality reconstruction, adversely affecting the patient's quality of life. 2,3 'Like with like' reconstruction is one of the fundamental principles of tissue reconstruction, and the best functional and aesthetic results are achieved by reconstructing the defect with a similar tissue. 4 Recently, many well-known and unknown cutaneous perforator flaps have been used for facial reconstructions with a certain degree of success.…”

Versatilidad del colgajo Estlander en reconstrucción de labio

“…www.medigraphic.org.mx el colgajo de labio superior para labio inferior se debe tomar el surco nasolabial, el cual corre por el ala nasal, llega al vestibular y toma la base columelar. 16 La técnica propuesta Yamauchi M comenta que la incisión se debe realizar en el espesor total hasta llegar al borde del bermellón, respetando éste para preservar la irrigación de la arteria labial superior. Es importante que al momento de realizar el giro del colgajo se pueda observar la posición del pedículo.…”
