Limberg flap: a review
View through CrossRef
Alexander Alexandrovich Limberg, Surgeon and Dentist, greatly contributed to the modern practice of plastic surgery. He defined the rhomboid flap (Limberg flap). The simplicity and effectiveness of the Limberg flap make it versatile, allowing adequate aesthetics with few complications. The split is made up of two equilateral triangles with angles of 60° and 120°, respectively. An adequate knowledge of the mechanisms of rotation and sliding of skin tissues is essential to indicate the use of this type of flap and to perform it. The skin can be moved from adjacent sites and must be mobile enough to close the defect with minimal tension. The Limberg flap is a flap that takes advantage of the laxity of the skin adjacent to the defect to allow the transposition of tissue with similar characteristics to the excised tissue.
