Abstract Background Reconstruction of upper and lower lip subunits is a complicated and elusive challenge. For patients affected by defects involving upper and lower lip subunits, a technique able to reconstruct both aesthetic units with matched colour, sufficient contours and similar texture would be ideal. In this study, we present our experience with upper and lower lip reconstruction using the pre-expanded bipedicled visor flap. Methods From January 2014 to January 2017, 12 male patients presenting with defects of the upper and lower lip subunits were treated using this surgical technique. After a period of expansion of the scalp flap of over 6 months, the bipedicled visor flap was raised from both the parietal regions and rotated to resurface the defect. Delay and section of the pedicle were then performed. Results Twelve male patients with postburn scars aged 22 to 48 years (mean: 34 years) were successfully treated with no major complications. The donor site was closed primarily in all cases. Subsequent flap debulking and minor revisions were performed under local anaesthesia between 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Conclusions The pre-expanded bipedicled visor flap provides an effective and reliable option for upper and lower lip reconstruction with excellent colour and texture. It is feasible to achieve these results simultaneously from a single donor site by using a pre-expanded bipedicled visor flap.

Encephaloceles are one form of neural tube defect and are associated with partial absence of skull bone fusion, with an incidence of 1–4 cases for every 10 000 live births. We report the case of a neonate born at term, with an antenatal diagnosis of occipital encephalocele, which was successfully managed with excision and formation of a reverse visor scalp flap on day 2 of life.Surgery was performed in a single stage, involving a multidisciplinary approach between neurosurgery and plastic surgery teams, with wider management involving neonatal intensive care, paediatric, obstetric and anaesthetic teams.The patient had no early postoperative complications, and we use this case report to demonstrate that a reverse visor scalp flap is a good option to cover full-thickness defects in patients with encephaloceles.Furthermore, we advocate early repair and a multidisciplinary approach to minimise the morbidity associated with occipital encephaloceles.
