rotation flaps
Rotation flaps are surgical techniques used in reconstructive surgery to close wounds or defects in the skin. They involve moving a section of tissue, or flap, from one area of the body to another while maintaining its blood supply. This method is particularly useful for covering larger defects where simple suturing would not suffice.
These flaps can be designed in various shapes and sizes, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Commonly used in procedures involving the face, hands, or other areas, rotation flaps help restore both function and appearance, making them a valuable tool in the field of plastic surgery.
