AI Article Synopsis
- The bilobed flap is a surgical technique used to repair nasal defects, particularly after Mohs surgery.
- It offers advantages over other flap methods by spreading closure tension over a larger area with its two lobes, making it beneficial for less elastic skin in the lower nose.
- The article covers the selection, design, placement, and possible complications of the bilobed flap for effective nasal reconstruction.
Article Abstract
The bilobed flap is a local transposition flap useful for the repair of nasal defects commonly seen after Mohs surgery. The bilobed flap has benefits over other nasal transposition or advancement flaps because it distributes wound closure tension over a larger surface area through the use of 2 lobes. This property is especially helpful for defects of the caudal portion of the nose, where the skin is less elastic. This article discusses the bilobed flap for nasal reconstruction along with the appropriate selection, design, and placement of the flap and the potential complications.

Soft tissue defects in the head and neck are frequently encountered, often resulting from trauma or the surgical management of malignancies. Flap reconstruction plays a critical role in the closure of these defects, aiming to minimize complications and improve cosmetic outcomes. While various flap techniques are commonly utilized in head and neck reconstruction, to the best of our knowledge, the bilobed flap has not been previously reported in this anatomical region.

Introduction: We present a new technique, the bilobed lateral artery perforator-based flap, for breast-conserving surgery of large central tumors or nearby, combining Zymany's bilobed flap and a Lateral Intercostal Perforator (LICAP) flap, and its 10-year outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We studied 37 patients with malignant breast tumors near or involving the central skin, without ptosis or desire to correct it, who avoided mastectomy with this modified bilobed flap from 2013 to 2022. The same surgeon operated on them in different institutions.
