Procedure / technique
Excision with «V-Y» plasty
A technique in which the skin is advanced and sutured from a «V» into a «Y» shape, making it possible to close defects where mobility is limited — often used on the face and fingers.
It preserves the blood supply to the moved skin, allowing good healing.
