    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatologic Surgery

    Background:

    • Rhombic defects present a surgical challenge in achieving optimal closure.
    • Minimizing tissue distortion and achieving aesthetically pleasing results are key goals in reconstructive surgery.

    Observation:

    • A novel accordion flap technique was developed for covering rhombic skin defects.
    • The flap is prepared on one side of the defect, utilizing adjacent skin.

    Findings:

    • The accordion flap effectively covers rhombic defects.
    • This preparation method significantly reduces the formation of "dog ears," a common complication.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a valuable new option for plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
    • Improved cosmetic results can be expected for patients undergoing rhombic defect repair.
