Reconstruction of Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Face: Case Report
Reconstruction of advanced basal cell carcinoma of the face presents a challenge. Anterolateral thigh free flap (ALTF) and radial forearm free flap (RFFF) are commonly used free flaps for head and neck reconstruction. However, we found ALTF is considerably thicker than that of RFFF. Hence for facial reconstruction following basal cell carcinoma excision, the RFFF is preferred due to its flexibility and cosmetic outcomes.
