[Clinical application of V-Y flap with subcutaneous pedicle].
From March 1987 to October 1989, 27 wounds in 27 cases have been repaired successfully by a V-Y flap with a subcutaneous pedicle beside the flap. Results were satisfactory. 16 cases of them have been followed-up for 2 months to 2 years, and the appearance has been satisfactory. It seems that V-Y flap with subcutaneous pedicle possesses the following advantages: (1) the advancing distance is large; (2) it has a wide range of application; (3) there is little damage to the blood supply and sensation of the flap.
