“…The perioral and perinasal region are commonly involved areas in benign and malignant tumor excision [15]. Various reconstruction method have been described in the literature, we reckoned that rotation flap [16] is excellent option because they generally have random blood supply from the dermal and subdermal plexus vessels, ideally, the donor site is in the lateral aspect of the face where scars are less visible, due to a certain amount of advancement, reconstructive surgeon prefer to choice and patients easily accept that this option could improve their aesthetic outcome.…”

Retrospectively analyze the reconstruction methods and surgical outcomes of patients with middle and lower face soft tissue defects treated at our hospital over the past 10 years. 200 patients with middle and lower face soft tissue defects were surgically reconstructed at our hospital. Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed to abstract the pertinent information. The lesion was mainly at the eyelid, lips, chin and nasal-cheek region. There were 41 (63.08 %) men and 24 (36.92 %) women. In our study, male to female ratio = 1.7:1. We used direct closure for night patients, local flap for 141 patients, free flap for 38 patients, combined flap for 12 patients involving extensive mid face and lower face defects. Most patients had their tumor resected and reconstructed in single stage procedure mostly with local advancement flap, and no flap failure was presented post-operatively. Middle and lower face soft tissue defects can be successfully treated with local flap in a single stage approach and step-by-step approach.
