| Popis: | Large upper lip defects that include the surrounding aesthetic subunits of the midface are difficult to reconstruct. Abbe flaps have been a popular method of dealing with small upper lip defects but, as classically described, they are insufficient for larger defects. We performed cadaver injections to evaluate the vascular territory supplied by the inferior labial artery with particular attention to the submental area. Extended Abbe flaps were then designed and used in combined upper lip and midfacial reconstruction. Three cases and guidelines for the use of the extended Abbe flap are presented. |
