Reconstruction of the upper lip with lip switch (Abbe flap reconstruction)

The Australasian Journal of Dermatology
D J Hodgkinson

Abstract

The lip switch operation (Abbe) is useful for full thickness defects of the upper lip. Careful design of the flap with pedicle take-down and inset of the flap after 2 weeks, leads to a predictably good reconstructive result. The flap is most useful for 30-50% full thickness defects of the upper lip.
