Lip Reconstruction Using the Gillies Fan Flap

Lip Reconstruction Using the Gillies Fan Flap:

The Gillies Fan flap is a single-stage composite rotational-advancement flap for reconstruction of medium to large full thickness lower lip defects. It can be thought of as an extension of the Estlander flap. It is nourished by a narrow superiorly-based pedicle of the superior labial artery. Mobilized tissue includes adjacent lower lip tissue as well as tissue from the opposing lateral lip. The oral commissure is distorted with use of this technique, and sometimes requires a second stage for refinement using a commissureplasty, discussed elsewhere in this issue.
