Skin defects sometimes occur during head and neck surgery, necessitating flap reconstruction in individual cases. The local flap technique is required for closure of small defects. Since the rotation flap is collected around the skin defect, it is necessary to design the size taking into consideration the blood supply and need for reduced tension at the defect site. In this study, we report two cases of skin defects treated with local flaps: a case of parotid squamous cell carcinoma and a case of tracheostoma. For preoperative simulation, we used shelf lining paper to confirm the size of the defect and type of rotation. This allowed the members of the surgical team to share the image, making it useful for preoperative simulation.
