    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatologic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • The Limberg rhombic flap is a widely recognized technique for covering skin defects.
    • Optimal execution relies on precise rhombic donor flap placement.
    • Certain defects are not amenable to simple straight-line closure, necessitating alternative methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a straightforward method for planning Limberg rhombic flap designs.
    • To maximize the utility and possibilities of the rhombic flap technique.

    Main Methods:

    • The study details an easy-to-follow procedure for designing rhombic flaps.
    • Emphasis is placed on correct rhombic donor flap placement for successful reconstruction.

    Main Results:

    • The presented method simplifies the planning and execution of the Limberg rhombic flap.
    • This technique enhances the versatility of rhombic flaps in reconstructive surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The Limberg rhombic flap is an effective and versatile method for skin defect closure.
    • A simplified planning approach improves the application and outcomes of this surgical technique.
