I n the February issue, Boylan and colleagues 1 investigated the role that primary lobe pexing sutures or intraoperative triamcinolone injections play in reducing bilobed transposition flap pin cushioning. In this study, there was a significantly lower rate of pin cushioning when primary lobe pexing sutures were used, while intraoperative triamcinolone injections did not yield a significant benefit. The authors report a baseline pin cushioning rate of 30.8%. In our experience, pin cushioning is not a common occurrence with the bilobed transposition flap, occurring less than 1% of bilobed flaps on the nose. We would like to share several surgical pearls to help reduce pin cushioning rates. [2][3][4][5]
