This flap can be used for various defects in the head and neck area. Based on the dominant blood supply there are three different variations of the PMF: superior, posterior or inferior based. Only the superior and posterior based PMF is suitable for oral and facial reconstruction.
Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where tissue with an intact blood supply is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site. Flaps are distinct from grafts, which do not have an intact blood supply and relies on the growth of new blood vessels. Flaps are done to fill a defect such as a wound resulting ...
Face transplants and facial reconstruction surgeries are extremely sensitive, with plenty of detailed work going on even before the operation. Behind the delicate art of facial reconstruction ...
Free flaps are usually only done if a TRAM flap is not possible. Plastic surgeons usually perform these surgeries. Patients with Bell's palsy can have their face re-animated using "free functioning muscle flaps". Hand reconstruction: Reconstruction of paralyzed face or hand using functioning free muscle flaps. Head and Neck reconstruction:

The most frequently used perforator flaps nowadays are the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap , [5] [6] and both the superior and inferior gluteal (SGAP/ IGAP) flap, [7] all three mainly used for breast reconstruction; the lateral circumflex femoral artery perforator (LCFAP) flap (previously named anterolateral thigh or ALT flap) [8] and ...
A rotation flap is a semicircular skin flap that is rotated into the defect on a fulcrum point. Rotation flaps provide the ability to mobilize large areas of tissue with a wide vascular base for reconstruction. The flap must be adequately large, and a large base is necessary if a back-cut will be needed to lengthen the flap.
