The rhomboid flap is one of the geometric relaxation techniques used for releasing burn scar contractures.
In the present study, we evaluated the question; 'which is better: one larger rhomboid flap or a series of multiple smaller rhomboid flaps?'
Ten male Wistar rats each weighing 250-300 g 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.
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).
菱形皮瓣是用于松解烧伤瘢痕挛缩的几何松弛技术之一。
在本研究中，我们评估了“哪种更好：一个较大的菱形皮瓣还是一系列多个较小的菱形皮瓣？”这一问题。
使用10只体重250 - 300克的雄性Wistar大鼠。在每组中，使用腹股沟区域2.5厘米的皮肤。右侧使用两个间隔0.5厘米、长1厘米的菱形皮瓣，左侧使用一个长2.5厘米的菱形皮瓣。
使用单个较大菱形皮瓣的延长率（66%）显著大于使用多个较小菱形皮瓣的延长率（26%）（p<0.01）。
