ObjectiveThis is to introduce the applications of the prefabricated expanded island skin flap based on a fasciovascular pedicle.MethodsThe superficial temporal vessel was transferred to the cervical region and an expander was buried under it. When the expander was fully expanded, an island skin flap was elevated and transferred based on the fasciovascular pedicle. Eight patients were treated with this method since 1996.ResultsAll the flaps survived without necrosis.ConclusionThe island skin flap prefabricated in this manner has rich blood supply and can be transferred safely. It is useful in plastic and reconstructive surgery, especially for the severe burned patients whose normal skin is insufficient.
