Summary:Local flaps are an excellent option for repairing the excision of skin tumors, where the primary closure of the defect would cause aesthetic and functional impairment.The rhomboid (Limberg) flap is a simple and versatile transposition flap that can be applied widely with good cosmetic and vascularization results.
