Introduction: We present a new technique, the bilobed lateral artery perforator-based flap, for breast-conserving surgery of large central tumors or nearby, combining Zymany's bilobed flap and a Lateral Intercostal Perforator (LICAP) flap, and its 10-year outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We studied 37 patients with malignant breast tumors near or involving the central skin, without ptosis or desire to correct it, who avoided mastectomy with this modified bilobed flap from 2013 to 2022. The same surgeon operated on them in different institutions.

Article Synopsis
  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower lip is common, and its growth often necessitates surgical reconstruction and possible neck dissection based on staging.
  • This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Bilobed Platysma Myocutaneous Flap technique used in patients with lower lip SCC, incorporating neck dissection when needed.
  • Results from 23 patients treated between 2014 and 2018 showed successful flap survival and no recurrence over a 5-year follow-up, confirming the technique's feasibility for reconstruction.
