title: [Our experiences with the frontal flap. Apropos of 105 cases].
abstract: The plastic qualities and vascular reliability of the frontal flap have been widely used for reconstruction of facial tissue. We revised the files of 105 patients who had undergone surgical repair of facial tissue loss with frontal flaps. The epidemiology, etiology of the repaired tissue loss and indications for frontal flap as well as the various techniques were analyzed: 66.7% of the patients were over 60 years of age; 74% had ambulatory surgical repair; 54.4% of the repaired tissue losses were situated in the nasal region; 80% of the losses were due to tumoral formations. The median flap was the most widely used (23.2%).
