Bilobed flap in the release of postburn mentosternal contracture

We have described in brief detail our experience with bilobed flaps in the release of postburn mentosternal synaechia. We have found this method handy, and it gives very good results. We reckon that this method has a prominent place in the release of this contracture, particularly in children who cannot provide adequate free-skin flaps for revascularization and in centers where the procedure is technically impossible.
