Optimal Placement of Burow's Triangles for Aesthetically Pleasing Repair of Multiple Defects Using Local Flaps After Tumor Excision

The document detailed a surgical method for repairing skin defects after tumor removal, focusing on the face and scalp, by strategically placing Burow's triangles with local flaps. It reported on two male patients, aged 71 and 86, with four basal cell carcinomas and four invasive squamous cell carcinomas, respectively. The first patient's defects were addressed with rotation and advancement flaps, avoiding facial distortions, while the second patient's repairs involved extension of flaps and a skin graft that maintained the hairline despite alopecia. Both cases resulted in aesthetically and functionally successful repairs without complications like ectropion or hairline changes. The technique was presented as a simple, effective option for surgeons to achieve satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
