Design principles for transposition flaps: the rhombic (single-lobed), bilobed, and trilobed flaps.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 2014 September
BACKGROUND: When tension at a cutaneous defect is too great for primary closure or causes distortion of surrounding anatomy, transposition flaps provide a useful reconstruction option.
OBJECTIVE: To review the tissue biomechanics of the rhombic, bilobed, and trilobed transposition flaps.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic evaluation of a cutaneous defect is provided to guide a logical approach to the design and execution of transposition flaps.
RESULTS: Applying key principles to the design and execution of transposition flaps results in reliable outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Carefully designed and executed rhombic, bilobed, and trilobed transposition flaps provide an excellent reconstruction option when tension at a cutaneous defect is too great for primary closure.
