الملخص الإنجليزي
Deep dermal burns and full thickness burns are generally managed by excision and split thickness skin
grafting. The skin graft may lead to unacceptable colour changes and be aesthetically unacceptable. Also, there may
be a contour defect and, furthermore, it is followed by varying degrees of contracture. The keystone design sliding
flap, first described in 2003, avoids the need for grafting and is not associated with any skin graft problems. We
report two cases of the use of this flap as the primary surgery in reconstruction of small full thickness burn defects.
