    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Skin defects present challenges in achieving adequate coverage without complications.
    • Traditional flap designs may lead to issues like dog-earing, impacting aesthetic and functional results.

    Observation:

    • A flexible rhombic flap design has been developed.
    • This flap's geometry can be adjusted based on the tension of the surrounding skin.

    Findings:

    • The described rhombic flap provides sufficient coverage for skin defects.
    • This method effectively minimizes the occurrence of dog-ear deformities.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a versatile solution for skin defect reconstruction.
    • It potentially improves patient outcomes by reducing secondary surgical revisions for dog-ears.
