“…In comparison with the Limberg flap in the RMF, the scar length and the total scar area were more pronounced, but no additional healthy skin had to be discharged, furthermore it created smaller traction forces. The bilobed flap had the longest scar length, the highest total scar area, and most healthy skin removed in comparison with the other two flaps . However, as described by the authors, the classical RMF is limited to circular skin defects…”

“…5 They have postulated that the reading man flap is the most suitable among these techniques in terms of total scar area and length and suggested that this new flap design can be used to reconstruct malar and infraorbital circular defects with good cosmetic results without creating any traction forces on the eyelids. Seyhan and Caglar compared this flap to the Limberg and bilobed flaps.…”

Background: In dermatologic surgery, numerous flap types have been described for wound closure after skin cancer surgery. The reading man flap was first published in 2008 for the closure of skin defects of the face, trunk, and extremities. Technically, this flap is based on an asymmetrical Z-plasty.Objective: To investigate the feasibility, clinical outcomes, and postoperative complications for wound closure with the reading man flap technique. Methods:We treated seven patients (facial and extremity defects) after microscopically controlled surgery using the reading man flap technique. The median defect size was 491.71 mm 2 . All of the patients were treated under tumescent local anesthesia.Results: A tension-free defect closure was created in all patients. One minor complication, a wound infection on one leg, was observed. Conclusion:The described technique is an easy and safe dermatologic surgery procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia.Contexte: En chirurgie dermatologique, on a recours à de nombreux types de lambeau pour procé der à la fermeture de plaies aprè s une opé ration pour un cancer de la peau. La description du lambeau en Z asymé trique a é té publié e pour la premiè re fois en 2008 pour le comblement de pertes de substance cutané e de la face, du tronc, et des membres. Du point de vue technique, il s'agit d'un lambeau qui ressemble à ceux utilisé s dans la plastie en Z mais qui est asymé trique.Objectif: L'é tude visait à é valuer la faisabilité , les ré sultats cliniques, et les complications postopé ratoires de la fermeture de plaies à l'aide de ce type de lambeau asymé trique.Mé thode: Sept patients (pertes de substance de la face et de membres) ont é té traité s à l'aide de cette technique aprè s une intervention chirurgicale micrographique. La surface mé diane de la perte de substance é tait de 491.71 mm 2 . Tous les patients ont é té traité s sous anesthé sie locale par tumescence.Ré sultats: L'intervention a produit une fermeture exempte de tension chez tous les patients. Une complication mineure, soit une infection de la plaie sur une jambe, a é té observé e.Conclusion: Il s'agit d'une technique sû re et facile en chirurgie dermatologique, qui peut s'effectuer sous anesthé sie locale.

“…A circular type of defect, which is usually encountered after the surgery, should be converted to either elliptical or rhomboid type for reconstruction. However, to change the shape of the defect, excision of healthy tissues around the defect is inevitable, not to mention the risk of long scar, dog‐ear formation or trapdoor deformity 5 …”
