  • Title: Partial-thickness wedge and advancement flap for upper lip repair.
    Author: Spinowitz AL, Stegman SJ.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1991 Jul; 17(7):581-6. PubMed ID: 1860988.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of upper lip defects demands careful attention in order to reconstitute both normal function and normal appearance. These defects may involve mucosa, orbicularis oris muscle, skin, vermilion, or any combination of these structures. We will describe five cases in which there were defects created by Mohs micrographic surgery and present the concept of partial-thickness wedge in combination with a flap to repair these wounds.
