Reconstruction of the totally degloved little finger with a bilobed digital neurovascular island flap.

Abstract
Treatment of a completely degloved finger injury is a challenge to plastic surgeons. We used a simple method, a bilobed digital neurovascular island flap harvested from the dorsolateral side of the middle and proximal phalanges of the ring finger, to reconstruct the complete degloved little finger. This method provides a one-stage operation for coverage of the degloved little finger and also results in good sensation and an acceptable appearance.
