Abstrakt: Background: Esthetic upper lateral cutaneous lip reconstruction preserves the apical triangle, nasolabial fold symmetry, and free margin position. The tunneled island pedicle flap (IPF) is a novel single-stage reconstruction to achieve these goals.
Objectives: Describe the technique and patient and surgeon-reported outcomes for the tunneled IPF reconstruction of upper lateral cutaneous lip defects.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of consecutive tunneled IPF reconstruction following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) at a tertiary care center between 2014 and 2020. Patients rated their scars using the validated Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS), and independent surgeons rated scars using the validated Observer Scar Assessment Scale (OSAS). Descriptive statistics were generated for patient demographics and tumor defect characteristics.
Results: Twenty upper lateral cutaneous lip defects were repaired with the tunneled IPF. Surgeons rated scars with a composite OSAS score of 11.83 ± 4.29 (mean, SD) [scale of 5 (normal skin) to 50 (worst scar imaginable)] and an overall scar score of 2.81 ± 1.11 [scale of 1 (normal skin) to 10 (worst scar imaginable)]. Patients rated their scars with a composite PSAS score of 10 ± 5.39 [scale of 6 (best possible score) to 60 (worst)] and with an overall score of 2.2 ± 1.78 [scale of 1 (normal skin) and 10 (very different from normal skin)]. One flap was surgically revised for pincushioning, but none experienced necrosis, hematoma, or infection.
Conclusions: The tunneled IPF is a single-stage reconstruction for upper lateral cutaneous lip defects with favorable scar ratings by patients and observers.
