Abstract
Primary repair of 2 patients with large upper arm defects with the bilobed fasciocutaneous flap is reported. In this procedure the repair of a large soft-tissue defect with a flap prepared adjacent to the defect and closure of the flap donor site are performed at the same time without a skin graft. This procedure enabled regional reconstruction and provided excellent aesthetic results. It is simple and reliable. In addition, primary repair of large upper arm defects can be expected.
