  • Title: A regional approach to reconstruction of the upper lip.
    Author: Zitelli JA, Brodland DG.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1991 Feb; 17(2):143-8. PubMed ID: 2002159.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of upper lip wounds by second intention, full-thickness skin grafts, and local flaps is discussed. The location, size, depth, and type of closure for each defect in 200 cases involving defects of the upper lip are reviewed. The percentages of wounds treated by each modality were 20, 6, 74% for second intention, grafts, and local flaps, respectively. Of wound treatment by local flaps, 80% used advancement flaps, 10% used transposition flaps, and 10% used island-pedicle flaps. Advancement flaps, island-pedicle flaps, possible complications, and post-operative care are reviewed.
