The versatile rhomboid (Limberg) flap. 2007

Leslie R Chasmar
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The rhomboid (Limberg) flap can be used to close defects almost anywhere on the body. It is versatile in that a random pattern flap can be raised from any one or all corners of the rhomboid. The defect is filled with tissue of the same thickness and colour, and with good vascularity. The present paper demonstrates the versatility of the rhomboid flap.
