Double rhomboid flap in ophthalmic plastic surgery

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

• The rhomboid flap is a recognized surgical technique.
• Effective closure of rhomboid-shaped defects is crucial in plastic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the utility of the rhomboid flap for defect closure.
• To describe the adaptation of the rhomboid flap for larger defects.
• To identify the peri-orbital area as an ideal location for this procedure.

Main Methods:

• Construction of a flap equal in size to the rhomboid defect.
• Utilizing two rhomboid flaps for larger defects by drawing a parallelogram.
• Application of the technique in the peri-orbital area.

Main Results:

• The rhomboid flap provides effective closure for simple rhomboid defects.
• The technique is adaptable for closing larger defects using a modified approach.
• Successful application in the peri-orbital region demonstrates its versatility.

Conclusions:

• The rhomboid flap is a valuable tool in plastic surgery for defect reconstruction.
• Adaptations of the rhomboid flap technique allow for the closure of larger and more complex defects.
• The peri-orbital area is a suitable site for rhomboid flap reconstruction due to its anatomical characteristics.
