Abstract:
The authors present their experience with the rhomboid-to-W excision technique for cutaneous lesions in the face, its utilization in lesions of more than 20 mm., and a modification of the original method. This type of reconstruction using the adjacent triangular flaps forming a "W", leads to a barely-visible scar. The advantages of this surgical procedure are also enumerated.
