  • Title: Reconstruction of the upper lip with lip switch (Abbe flap reconstruction).
    Author: Hodgkinson DJ.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 1997 May; 38(2):97-8. PubMed ID: 9159970.
    Abstract:
    The lip switch operation (Abbe) is useful for full thickness defects of the upper lip. Careful design of the flap with pedicle take-down and inset of the flap after 2 weeks, leads to a predictably good reconstructive result. The flap is most useful for 30-50% full thickness defects of the upper lip.
