Application of Delayed Keystone Flap in Management of Post-Electrical Burn Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Aim The aim of the study is the application of delayed Keystone flap in the management of post-electrical burn squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods In our study, a delayed staged type 3 keystone flap was performed as first stage procedure. Result In our study, by doing a delayed staged type 3 keystone flap we were able to successfully reduce the size of the defect by 40% without necrosis of the inset flap. Conclusion Delaying of the flap is a useful method when the vascularity of the keystone flap is doubtful especially in the case of post electrical burn.
