Background: The keystone perforator-based fasciocutaneous island flap is a method of locoregional skin defect reconstruction, consisting of two conjoined V to Y advancement flaps. In this article, we report a series of 30 consecutive cases in various body parts with the aim to demonstrate the versatility of the keystone flap in the reconstruction of various skin defects after removal of a suspected malignant skin lesion and evaluate our clinical experience while maintaining oncological safety and good aesthetic results.
Methods: Patients who underwent keystone flap reconstruction between January 2016 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.
