摘要
Background: The rhomboid flap is one of the geometric relaxation techniques used for releasing burn sear contractures. Purpose: In the present study, we evaluated the question; 'which is better: one larger rhomboid flap or a series of multiple smaller rhomboid flaps?' Methods: Ten male Wistar rats each weighing 250-300 were used. In the groups, 2.5 cm of the inguinal region was used. Two 1 cm long rhomboid flaps with spaced by 0.5 cm were used in the right side and a single 2.5 cm long rhomboid flap was used in the left side. Conclusion: An elongation by using single larger rhomboid flap (66%) is significantly bigger than an elongation by using multiple smaller rhomboid flaps (26%) (p < 0.01).
