Abstract

Z-plasty is a commonly performed procedure in plastic surgery. Flap necrosis is an important complication that may occur, and various precautions have been described to prevent it. Several studies have been conducted to establish the role of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in local flap survival. We would like to discuss the role of LLLT in Z-plasty.
