A TRANSPOSITION OUTER RHOMBOID FLAP OVER AN INNER DEEPITHELIALIZED FLAP FOR COVERING SUBCUTANEOUS DEVICES

Axillary Reconstruction for Hidradenitis Suppurativa with an Inner-Arm Transposition Flap Creating a Brachioplasty Effect

BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition that can affect any area with apocrine sweat glands and has the potential to involve multiple sites concurrently. Commonly affected sites include the axilla, groin, perineum and perianal areas. In this study we performed a literature review on the surgical methods for HS and describe an innovative technique for reconstructing ...

Combined Tongue Flap and Deepithelialized Advancement Flap for Thick Lower Lip Reconstruction

We repaired a long horizontal defect in the lower lip caused by the resection of squamous cell carcinoma by reconstructing the white lip with a V-Y advancement flap and vermilion with a tongue flap. During this procedure, we deepithelialized the V-Y flap, lifted the upper margin of the flap and sutured it to the remaining upper margin of the lip, and then covered it with the tongue flap, result...

subcutaneous forehead island flap for nasal reconstruction

The rhomboid flap in medial canthal reconstruction.

AIM To describe a series of patients who have undergone a medial canthal reconstruction with a rhomboid flap. METHODS A non-comparative interventional case series of 27 patients with medial canthal defects after Mohs excision of medial canthal basal cell carcinomas who underwent reconstruction using a rhomboid-shaped transpositional flap of adjoining skin and subcutaneous tissue. 25 cases wer...

HOW WE DO IT A Modified Rhomboid Flap: The “Diamond Flap”

Rhomboid flaps are frequently used in facial reconstruction to repair rhombus-shaped defects. The aesthetic and mechanical properties of these flaps make them especially useful for reconstruction of defects on the cheek, temple, lips, nose, and eyelids. Rhomboid flaps are full-thickness cutaneous local flaps with a random blood supply; they rely on the dermal–subdermal plexus of blood vessels. ...
