Lip reconstruction using lateral
vermillion and soft tissue advancement flaps and
a central "V" resection, in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the
lip.
|
This patient has 1/3 of the vermillion of her lip removed. The
defect could be divided into three parts: A central 1/3 very deep
defect and lateral 1/3 shallower defects. The lateral 1/3 defects were
reconstructed by advancing vermillion and underlining muscle from the
lateral lip. The middle third was removed with a "V" resection and
three layer closure.
