[1] [2] The most common use for the Hughes procedure is reconstruction after the removal of a lower eyelid skin cancer. [3] The result aims to recreate the normal appearance and function of ...

The forehead flap is known as the best donor site for repairing nasal defects because of its size, superior vascularity, skin color, texture and thickness. [1] [3] [4] Especially the color and texture of the forehead skin matches exactly with the skin of the nose. This is why the forehead flap is used so much for nasal reconstruction.
The pedicle can be removed after a new blood supply has formed. Examples: pectoralis major myocutaneous flap and deltopectoral flap for head and neck defects, and latissimus dorsi flap and traverse rectus abdominal muscle (TRAM) flap for breast reconstruction. [4] Distant flaps are used when the donor site is far from the defect.
The perforator propeller flap is the propeller flap which is used most commonly. It is a perforator flap with a skin island, which is separated in a larger and smaller paddle by the nourishing perforator. These paddles can rotate around the perforator (pedicle), for as many degrees as the anatomical situation requires (90-180 degrees).
The advantages of this flap is that there is no need to skin graft the donor site and scars are placed at the natural skin folds. This flap is used for posterior and moderate-sized anterior cheek defects. Lower eyelid ectropion should be prevented, by minimizing tension and by overcorrection and suspension of the cheek flap to the lateral ...
