“…Avascular recipient beds pose a survival challenge to all FTSGs. FTSGs less than 1 cm in diameter can survive over avascular surfaces through the “bridging phenomenon,” in which vascular reanastomoses derive exclusively from the wound edges 31,32. For large avascular surfaces, other options need to be considered.…”

If the FTSG can be delayed, then it can be advantageous to wait until adequate granulation tissue has formed.…”

“…In addition, both clinical observations and animal studies have shown that a full-thickness skin graft can survive over an avascular or poorly vascularized defect ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 cm wide. [15][16][17] In our series, the width of the exposed cartilage with or without the perichondrium after keloid excision was usually less than 5 mm, and that of the completely denuded cartilage area did not usually exceed 2 mm. These small areas of exposed cartilage in helical defects would seldom influence the graft take, especially when marginal revascularization of the graft is established.…”

Full-thickness Skin Grafting With Marginal Deepithelialization of the Defect for Reconstruction of Helical Rim Keloids

Excising a keloid from the helical rim generally results in a narrow defect with exposed cartilage. Skin grafting is a surgical method with a lowest recurrence rate for keloid treatment. Full-thickness skin grafting may produce an excellent cosmetic outcome, but is generally considered too unreliable over a poorly vascularized defect with exposed cartilage. Adding a new healthy bed with rich vascularity on the periphery will increase the probability of the entire graft surviving via the bridging phenomenon. We report full-thickness skin grafting using a marginal deepithelialization technique for treatment of helical rim keloids. After keloid excision, the surrounding normal skin was deepithelialized 2 to 3 mm wide over the defect border, followed by full-thickness skin grafting. All grafts survived completely. None of the keloids recurred, and they all showed an excellent aesthetic result during the follow-up period from 9 months to 6 years.
