Triple Dufourmentel hexagonal flap for scalp reconstruction

AlexandrosSfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Transposition flaps are some of the most commonly used flaps for reconstructing scalp defects. Limberg first described his rhomboid transposition flap in 1946. Dufourmentel flap was an improved version of the Limberg flap published in 1962 in which the base of the flap is widened to improve vascularisation.

Transposition flaps are one of the best known and most widely used transposition flaps in reconstructive surgery. They has proven successful in different types of reconstructive and aesthetic situations as a full-thickness random transposition flap.

Combination of three Dufourmentel flaps to reconstruct hexagonal defects has not been reported in the literature. It is a modification of the triple Limberg flap, in which, after removing a hexagonal defect, we reconstruct the primary defect with a triple Dufourmentel flap.

This flap is very useful for reconstructing large scalp defects as it provides a large amount of skin tissue with high viability; however, given its versatility, it could be used in other anatomical areas1, 2, 3.
