We have devised a bilobed skin flap for reconstruction after excision of small skin tumours. The sutured part serves as a zig-zag that leads to only slight postoperative contracture of the scar. The rotation centre of the flap is nearer to the affected area than other conventional bilobed flaps, resulting in less dog-ear deformity and distortion of tissue.
