HOW WE DO IT A Modified Rhomboid Flap: The “Diamond Flap”
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Limberg first described a transposition flap for closing a rhomboid-shaped defect in 1946. This flap is used to repair a defect that has a configuration of a rhombus with two opposing 60° and two opposing 120° interior angles. Dufourmentel modified this technique in 1962 to close defects with any acute angle. Quaba proposed a rhomboid flap in 1987 to coverage circular defects.

متن کاملThird refinement in rhomboid release of contractures by adding four-flap z-plasties.
Rhomboid release has been utilized in the reconstruction of flexion contractures. In this study a new refinement of the rhomboid subcutaneous flap with a combination of adjacent four-flap Z-plasties on both sides is presented. Satisfying functional results were obtained, keeping the rhomboid flap and the structures on the rhomboid flap in their original position. The new design of the previous ...
