Based on skin elasticity and mobility, V-Y advancement flaps are designed to repair wounds. Traditional V-Y flaps have been limited due to short advancing distance. With the development of perforator flaps and the application of microsurgical techniques, V-Y advancement flaps are gradually transiting from traditional random flaps to axial flaps containing well-known vessels or perforator arteries. The advancing distance of V-Y advancement flaps is significantly increased, and the design forms are gradually flexible and diversified. V-Y advancement flaps are widely used in clinical practice and can be used to repair wounds in almost all parts of the body. This article reviews the clinical application progress of V-Y advancement flaps to further promote its clinical application.
