“…Slide-swing skin flap technique is considered a transposition flap first described in 1981 by Schrudde and Petrovici [ 13 ]. Slide-swing plasty was originally used for closure of large defects, especially after excision of benign/malignant skin tumors.…”

“…Unlike Limberg flap, it has the ability to close down large round and even oval to hemispherical skin defects. Limberg flap on the other hand, requires wide excision of healthy skin that mostly change the geometric figure of the skin [ 13 ]. Another beneficial point of swing technique is the fact that the incision line could be adjusted to the defect.…”

Introduction: There are many surgical approaches for sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) therapy, ranging from wide excision repair to less morbid excisions with primary/flap closure. The off-midline flaps, which shift the incision line away from the midline natal cleft, have been associated with lower recurrence rates than the conventional mid-line closure techniques. This single-blinded randomized controlled trial aims to compare the short/long-term efficacy and outcome of the slide-swing flap technique with the conventional secondary wound closure.Method and materials: This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted on patients with PSD. Patients were assigned into two groups: secondary closure (control) and slide-swing flap (trial). Patients were advised to visit the surgical clinic two times weekly for the two weeks after the operation for at least six months.Results: In this study, 100 patients were enrolled. They were assigned into two groups of control, and trial. The mean age of all participants was 29.15 ± 8.36 years old (age range: 18-62 years old). The mean operation time was 39.65 ± 12.63 for both groups, with the control group being 29.70 ± 7.71 and the swing flap group 46.90 ± 7.81. Patient visual analog scale (VAS) scores in both groups revealed that the trial group was associated with lower VAS scores compared with patients who underwent secondary closure (p-value = 0.006). Also, the trial group demonstrated a higher rate of healing, better cosmetic outcomes, and quicker recovery time compared with the controls. Conclusion: Compared with secondary closure, the slide-swing flap was associated with excellent cosmetic outcomes, disease recurrence, and recovery time. Also, the post-operative complications were significantly lower compared with the traditional method.

“…Graft harvest was performed from the upper‐medial posterior concha, including the outer perichondrial layer. The conchal bowl was left untouched, and defect closure was performed using a caudally based Schrudde type II flap 10 from the postauricular region. The flap was transposed across the retroauricular layer so that no flap scar was located in the sulcus itself (Figure 1).…”

Achieving an Optimal Cosmetic Result With Excision of Lesions on the Face

This article offers an approach to excising lesions on the face considering a simple excision and closure by contraction, excision as an ellipse and primary closure, flap cover, and skin graft. However, the article concentrates on the geometry and mechanics of flap design. The mechanics of the 3 simple flaps (advancement, transposition, and rotation) are initially examined. Additionally, commonly used flaps, which are variations of the above, are also examined. Understanding flap geometry and design is the essence of all pedicle flaps, and will achieve an optimal cosmetic result.
