Important considerations in the design and construction of groin flaps.

abstract：:There have been numerous techniques and refinements for nipple-areola reconstruction described that have required the use of distant donor sites. A further modification of the skate flap is described, whereby the entire reconstruction can be performed on site, thus avoiding a second scar and any subsequent morbidity. ...
