title: The bilobed skin flap rotation.
abstract: The bilateral rotational skin flap is a plastic surgical technique suitable for filling defects on the foot too large to be served by a single pedicle flap. The execution of such a procedure requires careful planning and evaluation for sufficient circulatory support. Consideration for weight bearing is essential. No such flap rotations should be undertaken without a full understanding and acceptance of the consequences of failure, both on the part of the patient as well as the surgeon.
