[Use of a bilobed flap for the treatment of mucous cysts].

Introduction: In the case of mucous cysts with attenuated skin, the authors suggest radical excision of the cyst together with the overlying skin. The skin defect is repaired with a bilobed flap whose donor site is left to heal by secondary intention. This surgical procedure also allows exploration of other areas of mucoid degeneration and repair of the proximal nail fold when necessary.
