Clinical Report: Utilization of Triple Rhomboid Flaps for Reconstruction
Overview
This study evaluates the use of triple rhomboid flaps for reconstructing large truncal defects following malignant skin tumor excision. The findings indicate that no major complications were reported.
Background
Reconstructing large defects after excision of malignant skin tumors poses significant challenges in dermatologic and reconstructive surgery. Traditional methods, such as skin grafting and complex flap procedures, have limitations that can complicate the reconstruction process.

Number of Patients
9
Average Age
58.8 years
Defect Size Range
5×5 cm to 17×15 cm
Complications
No major complications
Key Findings
Triple rhomboid flaps were used to reconstruct large truncal defects after malignant skin tumor excision.
The study included nine patients with tumors including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and others.
All flaps survived, and incisions healed in a single phase.
Patient and medical professional satisfaction was reported.
Clinical Implications
The triple rhomboid flap presents a reconstructive option for large truncal defects.
Conclusion
The triple rhomboid flap is a practical reconstructive strategy for selected large truncal defects following malignant skin tumor excision.
