Abstract
This article addresses the use of scar revision surgery as it relates to the use of Z-plasty, W-plasty, and geometric broken line closure. Each of these techniques is discussed in detail and the author provides perspectives regarding the indications, advantages, and limitations of each procedure. The surgeon should be experienced with each of these and apply these methods as appropriate. As with any technique, careful preoperative planning along with meticulous execution will lead to optimal results. 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Mesh:
