Rotation and advancement flap in the medial canthus. A, The medial canthal area is a unique part of the face where multiple subunits overlap. This area includes the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, eyebrows, and the sidewall of the nose. Large defect of the medial canthus after the excision of a nodular BCC. A rotation flap incision is made. B, Raising and undermining the flap. C, Raising of the frontal advancement flap with excision of the Burrow triangles. D, Final appearance after suturing the wound without tension. To achieve the best aesthetic outcome, it is essential to replicate the natural depression in the center. Tumors located in the medial canthus pose unique challenges due to their propensity for deep penetration.

... also encountered, accounting for 4% and 3%, respectively. Reconstruction of the medial canthal region was primarily performed using the glabellar flap, followed by the Limberg flap, and the A-to-T flap. For larger and shallower defects or recurrent tumors where the periosteum of the nasal bone is not invaded, using FTSG is considered ideal (42) (Fig. ...
