Trilobed Skin Flap on the Face

Trilobed Flap Reconstruction for Distal Nasal Skin Defects

“…Iida and colleagues 11 described a tri‐rhombic flap based on a Dufourmentel flap with two triangular flaps whose angles are each reduced 25% for nasal reconstruction. Copcu 12 reported the use of a trilobed flap for reconstruction of canthal, oral, and commissural defects. Zitelli 6 suggested a trilobed flap when a vertical secondary lobe cannot be achieved with a bilobed flap.…”

“…Both the Tenzel and the Mustarde flaps support the eyelid with excellent cosmesis, while diverting wound tension toward the temple and cheek 64 . Copcu 65 describes a trilobed skin flap that can be translated to reconstruct any full‐thickness commissural defects. The flap is designed as three elliptical lobes at 45° angles, with equal dimension per lobe.…”
