  • Title: The free 'V': a bipennate free flap for double eyelid resurfacing based on the second dorsal metacarpal artery.
    Author: Yap LH, Earley MJ.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1997 Jun; 50(4):280-3. PubMed ID: 9215072.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient who had a basal cell carcinoma of the left upper eyelid and ectropion of the left lower eyelid. The patient underwent resection of the tumour and release of the ectropion resulting in a full thickness defect of the skin of his left upper and lower eyelids. The eyelids were reconstructed with a second dorsal metacarpal artery free flap from the left hand. For safety, a dorsal vein of the flap was arterialised and one of the valves of the vein had a valvotomy. The flap survived completely.
