Abstract

PAULSEN, M; MADAREE, A  and  XOAGUS, EA. Borrowing from the Burrow's - using discarded tissue to improve lip reconstruction. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.1, pp.74-76. ISSN 2078-5151.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36303/SAJS.3934.

Lip reconstruction following excision of cutaneous malignancy should be carefully planned to avoid discarding useful tissue. In this report, we describe two cases in which the usually discarded Burrow's triangles of the cheek advancement flap are used to reconstruct adjacent anatomical structures, thus improving the functional and aesthetic outcome of the reconstruction.

Keywords : lip reconstruction; Webster-Bernard; Burrow's triangle.
