Exposed artificial bone in the forehead covered with a transverse orbicularis oculi myocutaneous flap

Abstract

We have reconstructed the forehead by covering exposed artificial bone with a transverse orbicularis oculi myocutaneous flap. This technique had the following advantages: good circulation in the flap extended the arc of rotation; the flap matched the forehead in colour and texture; the scar of the flap donor site was not conspicuous, and no dysfunction was seen; and the technique is simple and not invasive.
