[Simultaneous multiple flaps in head and neck surgery (author's transl)]. 1978

H Weerda, and G Münker

We have developed several variations of the "bilobed flap" for the reconstruction of large defects of the head and neck. In so doing, we use pedicled bi- and tri-lobed flaps, transposition-rotation skin flaps or double-rotation skin flaps. Some examples are described to illustrate the technique employed.
