Abstract
Statement of the Problem: The repair of the defects or deformities in superficial tissues and organs caused by burns, trauma, tumor or infection, which seriously influence the functions and appearances, is a significant clinical complain.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe that skin flaps should be the preferred choice to recovery of both function and appearance.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Local flap, axial pattern skin flap, island pattern skin flap, pre-expanded skin flap and free skin flap in our department was widely used in clinical intervention. The principals of repairing the defects or deformities of superficial tissues and organs, the indications and cautions in application of skin flaps were discussed. As an important part, use of tissue expansion in preparing pre-expanded skin flap was also shown.
Conclusion & Significance: Personalized repairing depending on the age, sex, whole body condition and subjective demand of the patients was emphasized. I hope our experiences would improve the development of repairing of defects or deformities in superficial tissues and organs.
