Abstract
Objective: To study the operative treatment and aesthetic problem of facial skin malignant tumor. Methods: From March 1991 to April 2002, 40 patients with facial skin malignant tumor were treated in our department. Direct suture, full -thickness skin grafting, local skin flap and pedicle skin flap were used to repair wounds after extensive focus cleaning. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were employed to be auxiliary treatment. Results:The skin grafts and various skin flaps in 39 patients survived. The appearance and function were very good. The recurrence appeared in 3 cases of basal cell carcinoma 9 months -13 months later post - operation , who didn't accept radiotherapy. Conclusions: It might be a key to remove the malignant tumor totally and then treat it with radiotherapy or chemotherapy to prevent the local recurrence. The suitable repair method might be helpful to recover the appearance.
