title: The racquet conjunctival flap.
abstract: In situations requiring a conjunctival flap to cover a corneal defect, the racquet flap technique is a simple relatively noninvasive method. Less conjunctiva is sacrificed and yet the flap is fully maintained by the one pedicle. The bulbar conjunctiva is maintained in an essentially normal state.
