Methods: From August 2002 to June 2004,the subcutaneous pedicle Limberg flap was designed to repair facial skin defects in 17 patients(19 flaps),and the size of the lesions ranged from 2.0 cm×1.9 cm to 5.0 cm×4.5 cm.The operation was performed under general anesthesia in 2 children,and under local anesthesia in the remaining 15 patients. Results: All flaps survived with primary healing postoperatively.With a follow-up from 1 to 22 months,neither short-term nor long-term postoperative complications such as flap necrosis,hematoma,infection,visible dog-ear and trap door deformity were found,and functionally and cosmetically satisfactory outcomes were achieved. Conclusion: This subcutaneous pedicle Limberg flap provides a competitive repair alternative for the treatment of medium-sized skin defects in the face.展开更多

The method is based on the assumption that faces are well separated from the background by skin color detection. These faces can be located by the proposed method which modifies the subtractive clustering. The modified clustering algorithm proposes a new definition of distance for multi-face detection, and its key parameters can be predetermined adaptively by statistical information of face objects in the image. Downsampling is employed to reduce the computation of clustering and speed up the process of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by three experiments.展开更多
