Abstract: Flap technique is a technique commonly used for reconstruction of various types of skin defects from defects that occur only in skin tissue, to skin defects that are large and extensive and involve multi-tissues. V-Y flap technique is part of the advance flaps. This technique is performed by moving forward to close the defect without being rotated or moved laterally. The technique is simple, and the post operative process easy for both doctor and patient.
