Combination of advancement flap and modified Limberg flap to close big circular lateral forehead defect

Paramedian Forehead Flap Raised in the Base of Previously Used Median Forehead Flap Pedicle

Comparison of Z-plasty, limberg flap, and asymmetric modified Limberg flap techniques for the pilonidal sinus treatment: review of literature.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the early complications and recurrent results of Z-plasty, Limberg flap, and asymmetric modified Limberg flap both demographically and clinically. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2009 and February 2010, a total of 45 patients with pilonidal sinus were enrolled in this study. 10 of 45 patients (22.2%) required Z-plasty; 24...

Choosing the correct Limberg flap.

A technique is presented for designing the 8 possible Limberg flaps to close any given rhomboidal defect. Then we show how to choose out of those 8 the only two that will be correctly oriented so the donor area of the Limberg flap can be closed with a minimal amount of tension.

Combination of Nasolabial V-Y Advancement Flap and Glabellar Subcutaneous Pedicled Flap for Reconstruction of Medial Canthal Defect

A 77-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of a right medial canthal tumor, which was histopathologically diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. After removal of the tumor with a 4-mm safety margin, the defect occupied the areas superior and inferior to the medial canthal tendon. We first reconstructed the lower part of the defect using a nasolabial V-Y advancement flap to make an ellipt...
