Popis: In the past, combining local flaps to close skin defects has emphasized the shape of the defect. Combining local flaps on the basis of facial features and available donor skin has clear-cut advantages over single flap and regional flap closures in selected cases. Facial features may be more readily preserved and incision lines more easily disguised. A successful functional and cosmetic result is dependent on flap selection and design, as well as meticulous handling of skin and closure technics.
