title: A trilobed flap for reconstruction of nasal skin defects.
abstract: We developed a trilobed flap, i.e., a Dufourmentel flap connected to two continuous triangular flaps whose angles are decreased by one-quarter. We used this type of flap in eight patients with nasal skin defects, sequelae of tumorectomy, and obtained good results.
