1. Authors, combining Z-plasty with rectangle flap plasty, design a ladder-shaped flap plasty by which 24 cases of patchy cicatricial contracture were treated and satisfactory effects were obtained.

2. Skin Z-plasty was made with triangle flap transferring from the upper to the lower instead.

3. The Z-plasty and marsupialization groups both showed satisfactory results, but the marsupialization group required a longer period of wound management.

4. The compound auricular tissue transplantation was performed in 4 cases. Z-plasty at the lower ear lobe was performed in 2 cases.

5. Methods The correction method included restoration of the orbicularis sphincter at the affected side, interior movement of the surgical oral commisure and Z-plasty skin closure.

6. Objective To explore the clinical application value of double opposing Z-plasty in repairing of cleft and fistula in soft palate.

7. Objective To discuss the curative effect and complications between Z-plasty with fusiform excision and laser in treating bromhidrosis.

8. Objective: To research the anatomic base and clinical significance of the soft palate double reversing Z-plasty in repairing cleft palate.
