The closure of defects by using adjacent triangular flaps with subcutaneous pedicles. 1977

A J Emmett

Triangular flaps with subcutaneous pedicles have been consistently reliable for closing many defects in our 12-year experience. Before, we used mainly the lateral subcutaneous pedicles, but now we tend to use central pedicles. One can also leave partial skin bridges in the pedicles to prevent circular scar patterns, where the latter are undesirable.
