[Repair the infra-orbital defect with a rotation flap after basal cell carcinoma resection].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the method repairing the infra-orbital defect after basal cell carcinoma resection.


METHODS
A facial rotation flap was applied to repair the infra-orbital defects from tumor resection in 28 cases.


RESULTS
All defects were repaired by this one-stage method, which avoided skin graft, shortened the operation time and minimized the operation trauma. The incision sears are inconspicuous. The facial contours are more satisfactory.
