Double rhomboid flap in ophthalmic plastic surgery.

The rhomboid flap is a useful plastic surgical technique used to cover defects created by simple excisions in the shape of a rhombus. The closure requires construction of a flap equal to the size of the defect. With larger defects, a parallelogram can be drawn and two rhomboid flaps can be utilized to close a single large defect. The peri-orbital area is an ideal location for this procedure.
