Local skin flaps are useful for reconstruction of small-to-medium-sized cutaneous defects. Recent studies of the vascular anatomy of the skin have contributed to the invention of new flaps such as perforator flaps. However, conventional random pattern flaps (e.g., advancement flap, transposition flap, and Limberg flap) are still useful, especially in the face because of its rich vascular supply. Here, we describe how to use conventional random pattern flaps.
