Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Facial Flap Surgery AB - Most operative wounds are suitably repaired with local adjacent tissue transfers. When a local flap is not able to achieve an aesthetic closure a staged interpolation flap may be utilized. Interpolation flaps are delayed pedicle flap reconstructions in which a flap of tissue is elevated at one location and transposed over intervening skin to an operative wound. The flap is left in place for a defined period of time in order to vascularize from the recipient bed, and then the pedicle is severed. Interpolated pedicle flaps allow for the reconstruction of challenging operative wounds, in particular wounds of the nose, ear, and lip.
