Skin flap alternatives for dermatological lesions on the leg

The use of skin flaps for covering lesions is a better option than skin grafts, due to the diversity of the receptor area after the tumor’s resection and the greater degree of safety. For better results, the lesion’s location and extent, as well as the safety of the vascularization, should also be taken into account. Three resections were performed, with different coverage techniques. The patients had excellent development, without necrosis or dehiscence.
