    The study evaluated triple rhomboid flaps for reconstructing large truncal defects after malignant skin tumor excision.

  • 2

    Nine patients with tumors ranging from 5×5 cm to 17×15 cm underwent reconstruction using triple rhomboid flaps.

  • 3

    No major postoperative complications occurred, and all flaps survived with incisions healing in a single phase.

  • 4

    Patient and physician satisfaction with the reconstructive outcomes was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale.

  • 5

    Further research with larger cohorts and longer follow-up is needed to validate the safety and long-term outcomes of this technique.
