How Paramedian Forehead Flap is performed
Off-midline flap plasty is often performed after inflammation is controlled. It usually involves off-midline excision along the sinus tract and scar, shaping and advancing the flap to shallow the gluteal cleft, layered suturing, and placement of a drain if necessary. During the operation, a probe and direct vision are used to confirm residual cavities and achieve hemostasis. In the early postoperative period, exudate, wound edge tension, and pain are monitored, and sitting and walking are gradually resumed, with the goal of stable healing and reduced recurrence. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
