Z plasty surgery is a reconstructive surgical technique used to improve the appearance or function of scars by rearranging the skin in a Z-shaped pattern. It helps lengthen contracted scars, change scar direction, and release tight tissue, commonly used in burn scars, facial scars, and contracture correction.
Key details about Z plasty surgery:
Purpose: Releases contracted scars and improves scar alignment.
Procedure: A Z-shaped incision creates two triangular flaps that are transposed and sutured.
Mechanism: A 60-degree Z plasty can increase scar length by about 75%.
Applications: Used for burn contractures, facial scars, and webbed skin correction.
Recovery: Usually performed under local anesthesia with short recovery time.
