  • Title: Reconstruction of a medial canthus defect with a myocutaneous flap.
    Author: Reali UM, Chiarugi C, Borgognoni L.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1993 Feb; 30(2):159-62. PubMed ID: 8489181.
    Abstract:
    Defects in the inner canthal area are generally repaired by full-thickness skin grafts, V-Y advancement flap, or frontal flap. Each of these techniques may give some problems in restoring the functional or aesthetic features of that region, or both. To avoid these inconveniences, we performed the reconstruction of the medial canthal area after tumor excision by using a myocutaneous rotation flap from the upper lid joined to a rotation flap from the lower lid and cheek. No scar resulted inside the aesthetic unit and a fine result was achieved from both the functional and the aesthetic point of view.
