Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to present our clinical experience and suggest possible modifications of Dufourmental flaps. Materials and Methods: In our study thirty four patients operated for different pathologies with reconstruction done by Dufourmental flap July 2021 to December 2022. Results: Twenty-one of the 34 cases were male and the median patient age was 44.2 years. Nine cases were operated on under general anaesthesia and 25 were performed under local anaesthesia. In 20 cases the pathology was benign 10 cases the pathology was malignant and in rest four cases the defect was post-traumatic two among those were secondary to the dog bite. None of the patients has partial or total flap loss, one patient has margins positive on biopsy. Conclusion: Dufourmental flap although a local flap is very versatile flap and can be safely used in wide spectrum of defects and almost all areas of body. This flap can be easily tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient.
