Immediate breast reconstruction using an external oblique rectus musculofascial turnover flap.

abstract：:Acquired defects involving exposed bone in the central forehead can be challenging to reconstruct. We present a simple technique in which two superiorly based flaps of galea frontalis and skin are transposed medially, like the shutter of a camera. Full-thickness grafts are used to close the donor site. This is a remar...
