Background: There are lots of ways to close a defect according to the reconstruction ladder. In this article, we would like to share our experience with V-Y rotation advancement flap on different parts of the body.
Patients And Methods: Between 2006 and 2009, we performed V-Y rotation advancement flap on 68 patients (average age, 50 years). We performed this flap for decubitus and neuropathic ulcer on 33 patients, for defect reconstruction after tumor removal on 29 patients, and for trauma on 6 patients.
Results: The sizes of the defects ranged between 2 × 2 and 26 × 16 cm. All flaps survived without any major complications. Patients were satisfied with their scar appearance, and no sensory impairment was seen.
Conclusions: V-Y rotation advancement flap restores the defect with a perfect color match and leaves an aesthetically acceptable scar. With its surgical flexibility and durability, this flap disappoints neither the surgeon nor the patient.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the use of freestyle Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator (SGAP) flaps as a method for treating sacral ulcers in bedridden patients at a tertiary care hospital in India.
- Out of ten patients treated, only one experienced partial flap necrosis, and there were no instances of wound dehiscence, seroma formation, or ulcer recurrence within three months.
- The results indicate that SGAP flaps are a feasible and safe option for managing sacral ulcers.

V-Y flaps vascularized by perforators have gained great popularity in the last years. The advantages over randomized local flaps are the significantly greater arc of rotation and transfer length as well as less lymphatic congestion. We introduce a supraorbital V-Y myocutaneous perforator flap for forehead reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
- Oculoplastic surgery faces unique challenges when reconstructing large defects from malignant lower lid tumors, and this case study focuses on the effective use of a step ladder V-Y advancement flap for reconstruction.
- Five patients underwent tumor removals and reconstructions from November 2018 to March 2023, successfully using this flap technique without any complications.
- The step ladder V-Y advancement flap is advantageous due to its minimal impact on healthy skin, small dissection area, and overall efficiency, making it a preferred choice for aesthetic reconstruction after tumor excision.
