title: Aesthetic closure of the donor site of a radial forearm free flap with two local curved skin grafts.
abstract: The authors have designed an aesthetic and effective coverage technique using local curved skin grafts along with vascular pedicles without additional skin incisions to solve the disadvantages of skin coverage problem of donor site defect after radial forearm free flap (RFFF) harvesting. This has, to the authors' knowledge, not been previously described.
