  • The case of a 3-year-old showed successful soft tissue coverage and aesthetic improvement post-surgery.
  • Microsurgical techniques enable the use of combined tissue flaps, minimizing donor site morbidity.
  • Single-stage reconstruction provides adequate coverage and superior cosmetic results for complex cases.
