Özet
Medial canthal defects resulting from tumor resection are often too large to be closed directly because local tissue is in short supply. They can be repaired by using skin-muscle flaps or full-thickness skin graft to highlight a different technique, which may improve the cosmetic results achieved with this flap by reducing the tendency for the eyebrows to be drawn together. The superthinned inferior pedicled glabellar flap technique was used prospectively in 8 patients requiring medial canthal reconstruction. All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic and functional results. Photographs of all patients illustrate the preoperative and postoperative appearances of the eyebrows. This superthinned inferior pedicled glabellar flap technique is recommended to avoid drawing the eyebrows and bulky appearance in medial canthal region together when using the glabellar flap.
