The long Abbe flap combined with periosteally-vascularised mandibular bone for the simultaneous reconstruction of the upper lip and supportive columella.
We did a simultaneous reconstruction of the upper lip and the supportive columella for a midface deformity caused by the wide resection of a squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. It was reconstructed with an Abbe flap combined with a periosteally-vascularised outer layer of mandibular bone, which give an aesthetically and functionally acceptable result.
