ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The reconstruction of surgical defects in high-tension anatomical regions is challenging due to the ischemia and subsequent necrosis associated with tension closure. Research on new flaps capable of closing these defects exerting less tension would be a tremendous advancement in dermatological surgery. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study that used 2 new flaps-the bishop and the sigma ones-to repair surgical defects in high-tension regions such as the scalp, lower extremities, and the nasal pyramid. The bishop flap was used in 9 patients, 5 of whom exhibited their lesion in the nasal pyramid, 2 in the legs and another 2 in the scalp. The sigma flap was used in 6 patients, 5 of whom exhibited scalp lesions and 1 leg lesion.RESULTS:
Uneventful and excellent results were obtained in all 15 patients due to infection, dehiscence, or necrosis.CONCLUSIONS:
Both the bishop and the sigma flaps are a good alternative to repair surgical defects in high-tension regions such as the scalp, lower extremities, or the nasal pyramid.
