Current Practice: The Bilobed Flap From the Classic Indication to Cover a Small Defect on Face to Covering a Large Defect on the Chest
This paper discusses the bilobed flap, traditionally used for small facial defects, and its selected use for larger defects in other anatomical areas. It is relevant to reconstructive technique and facial plastic surgery literature.
