METHODS: Reconstruction of skin cancer defects following Mohs surgery was performed using a bilobed rhombic flap design in 10 patients.
RESULTS: Good to excellent results were seen in 9 of 10 patients. Significant pincushioning was not present postoperatively in any patient.
CONCLUSION: Despite some disadvantages, the rhombic bilobed flap is useful in reconstructing nasal defects on the lower third of the nose.
