The Abbe Flap Converted to an Island Flap

Pages 51-54 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

A modification of the Abbe flap is described. The pedicle is cut all around the vermilion leaving only a muscle cuff with the nutrient labial vessels. This increases the flexibility of the Abbe flap without reducing its viability. The division of the pedicle is a simplified procedure. The technique has been used on ten patients.
