Use of Burow's wedge principle for repair of wounds in or near the eyebrow.

Burow's wedge flap provides an excellent method for repair of wounds in or near the eyebrow. Advantages afforded by this technic in this context include ample flap elasticity and vascularization, versatility in dealing with wounds of varying dimension and location, and fewer incisions in comparison with the number necessary with other methods. Between 1980 and 1984 the author used this method in twelve patients and obtained good to excellent results in eleven and a fair outcome in one.
