Wei's flap

Wei’s flap is a surgical technique used to repair damaged or infected areas, often in the mouth or face. It involves creating a flap—an additional piece of tissue—that stays connected at one end while being moved or rotated to cover or replace the problematic area. This approach preserves blood flow to the tissue, promoting healing and reducing the risk of tissue death. By maintaining blood supply, Wei’s flap helps ensure the protected tissue heals effectively and maintains function, making it a valuable method in reconstructive surgery.
