2023年8月16日 · This activity reviews the uses, indications, contraindications, and complications of rotational flaps and examines the role of the interprofessional team in the care of patients receiving rotational flaps.

2019年3月3日 · A rotation flap employs an arciform incision adjacent to an operative wound in order to recruit laxity from multiple directions and redirect flap closure tension. Adjacent tissue laxity assists flap rotation into the primary defect, and the tension vector is redirected in part to the secondary defect/motion of the flap.

2024年3月13日 · Rotation flaps provide the ability to mobilize large areas of tissue with a wide vascular base for reconstruction. The name rotation flap refers to the vector of motion of the flap, which...

A rotation flap is a semicircular skin flap that is rotated into the defect on a fulcrum point. Rotation flaps provide the ability to mobilize large areas of tissue with a wide vascular base for reconstruction.

2016年12月11日 · Rotation is the simplest method of redirecting tension vectors and reducing wound closure tensions. 1 The design of a traditional rotation flap utilizes a curvilinear incision along an arc adjacent to the primary surgical wound. As a rotation flap is executed, the direction of wound closure tension is effectively changed.

2016年6月26日 · The choice between use of a transposition flap or a rotation flap is most often influenced by the size and nature of the defect. When the defect is large enough, a simple transposition flap ensures the greatest margin of safety …

2023年10月28日 · Surgical rotational flaps are a subtype of random pattern cutaneous flaps that pivot into their final position, differing from traditional advancement flaps. A rotational flap may be indicated for triangular-shaped defects or those where the tension vector of the primary wound requires alteration.

Rotation flaps involve rotating adjacent healthy skin to cover the wound, creating a flap of skin that is still attached to its blood supply. This technique allows for the transfer of healthy tissue to the wound site, promoting healing and minimizing the risk of complications.

Rotation Flap Cheek Rotation Flap. Named after its semicircular shape and curvilinear movement. Designed immediately adjacent to the primary defect. Optimally used to cover triangular defects.

Rotation flaps are local cutaneous flaps that rely on tissue laxity adjacent to the surgical defect in order to accomplish closure. By design, these flaps recruit tissue via rotational movement around a pivot point.
