The Versatility of Preexpanded Occipitocervicopectoral Flap in Unilateral and Bilateral (COVID Flap) Facial Resurfacing After Burn Injuries

Abstract

The preexpanded OCP flap provides a reliable and aesthetically favorable option for postburn facial resurfacing, offering color-matched, thin tissue coverage with minimal donor-site morbidity. The bilaterally preexpanded "COVID" modification further enhances its versatility for simultaneous reconstruction of both cheeks and the upper neck.
