Objective: To review the historical origin and development of thin flap and flap thinning technique.
Methods: A wide range of domestic and foreign literatures on thin flaps and flap thinning technique were reviewed. The background, definition, methods, problems, challenges, and future development of thin flap and flap thinning technique were summarized and analysed.
Results: Thin flap and flap thinning technique play an important role in the development of flap surgery, leading flap surgery towards a more rational and refined direction.
Conclusion: Thin flap and flap thinning technique are still hot topics in the future. With the development of thin flap and flap thinning technique, clinicians will have more "free" choices.

Lucia Keratoprosthesis in a Sclerocorneal Graft for Recurrent Graft Rejection Secondary to Herpetic Keratitis.
Cornea
January 2025
Instituto de Oftalmologia Fundacion Conde de Valenciana IAP, Mexico City, Mexico.
Purpose: To report the surgical approach of a Lucia keratoprosthesis (KPro) on a sclerocorneal graft in the setting of recurrent graft rejection and perilimbal scleral thinning.
Methods: A case report.
Results: We report the case of a 26-year-old man with a history of herpes simplex keratitis, 2 penetrating keratoplasties, graft failure, secondary glaucoma, and a conjunctival flap in the right eye who underwent a Lucia KPro, lens extraction, glaucoma drainage device, and pars plana vitrectomy.
Bilateral Fuchs' Superficial Marginal Keratitis Diagnosis and Treatment.
Life (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki 852-8501, Japan.
In this study, we reported two patients with clinical pictures compatible with the diagnosis of bilateral Fuchs' superficial marginal keratitis (FSMK) treated with surgical treatment and anti-inflammatory drugs. The cases suffered from bilateral photophopia, blurred vision, and pseudopterygium with normal intraocular pressure (IOP). Pseudopterygia extended from temporal and nasal sides and had a gray line between the corneal normal epithelium with no lipid deposits.

Thinning of anterolateral thigh flap is challenging. Anatomical studies have shown variations in arterial branching patterns in the subcutaneous layer, which were suspected to be the reason for the high frequency of thinning failures. We attempted to visualize subcutaneous arterial courses preoperatively and perform thinning of perforator flaps using this information appropriately.
