A new surgical technique uses four rhombic flaps to close circular skin defects, offering an effective method for large trunk lesions. This advancement in reconstructive surgery improves wound closure outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Dermatologic surgery

Context:

  • Circular skin defects pose challenges in reconstructive surgery.
  • Traditional methods may be less effective for large lesions.

Purpose:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for closing circular skin defects.
  • To adapt Limberg's principles for improved flap design.

Summary:

  • The technique involves dividing the defect into four quadrants.
  • Four symmetrical rhombic flaps are raised and rotated into the defect.
  • Flap sides form a 68-degree angle, facilitating rotation and closure.

Impact:

  • Provides an effective solution for large circular skin defects, particularly on the trunk.
  • Enhances reconstructive surgery options for dermatologic and plastic surgeons.
