Local flaps are surgical techniques used in reconstructive surgery to repair wounds or defects by moving nearby tissue to cover the area. This method utilizes skin, fat, or muscle from adjacent regions, ensuring a good blood supply and promoting healing. Local flaps are often preferred for their ability to match the color and texture of the surrounding skin. These flaps can be classified into various types, such as advancement flaps, rotation flaps, and transposition flaps, depending on how the tissue is moved. Local flaps are commonly used in procedures involving the face, hands, and other areas where cosmetic appearance is important.
