The Triangular Dart Flap : A Reconstructive Option for Soft Tissue Defects
Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..
INTRODUCTION: Reconstruction of soft tissue defects after skin cancer excision remains a challenge. Options for reconstruction are numerous, including primary repair, local tissue rearrangement, and skin grafts, among others. In this series, the authors present a novel technique: The triangular dart flap. This is a single-stage tissue rearrangement that uses the redundant tissue of the dog-ear to aid in the closure of these wounds.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients undergoing local tissue rearrangements by the senior author from 2009 to 2018. Factors were collected and analyzed, including age, size and cause of defect, comorbidities, smoking history, and postoperative complications.
RESULTS: Twenty-four patients underwent reconstruction with a triangular dart flap for repair of malignant defects. Mean defect size was 7.3 cm2 (0.8-20 cm2), and mean repair size was 29.7 cm2 (6-80 cm2). Initial pathology included basal cell carcinoma (45.8%), melanoma in situ (29.2%), and squamous cell carcinoma (16.7%), among others. Location varied widely among face and extremities. Anesthesia was predominantly local only (79.1%). There were no major complications, and 5 (20.8%) minor complications.
CONCLUSIONS: The triangular dart flap is a novel single-stage procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia only, for correction of Mohs defects. By using the redundant tissue of dog-ears to better approximate the wound edges, a tension-free primary closure can be achieved in sensitive areas, such as the nasal tip.
