Abstrakt:	Various techniques for local flap reconstructions of the facial region have been documented in the literature, including the advancement flap. This flap is one of the most versatile options for reconstructing various skin defects across different areas of the body. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the advancement flap for reconstructing the paralateronasal region after the excision of skin cancer. The following article presents a retrospective case series of 6 patients in whom the advancement flap was used to reconstruct skin defects resulting from malignant tumor resections in the paralateronasal region. No restrictions were collected regarding etiology, location, size, age, sex, or any other patient factors. The recruited patients were treated in the Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of Floraspe Renzetti Hospital of Lanciano, and the study was conducted in collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome, from February 2023 to February 2024. All the flaps settled with no complications, and all the patients were FOD (free of disease) 6 months after surgery. So, in accordance with the literature, the advancement flap turns out to be a rapid and reliable option that could be easily applied for cutaneous defects of the face even for the oldest and/or emaciated patient. Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest. (Copyright © 2024 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.)
