Transposition flaps are surgical techniques used in reconstructive surgery to repair defects in the skin or soft tissue. This method involves moving a section of tissue from one area of the body to another while maintaining its blood supply. The flap is "transposed" or rotated into the defect, allowing for better healing and aesthetic results. These flaps can be classified into different types based on their shape and the way they are moved. Common examples include the Z-plasty and V-Y plasty. Transposition flaps are often used in procedures involving the face, hands, and other areas where skin integrity is crucial.
