RESUMO
Z-Plasty is a procedure involving the transposition of two interdigitating triangular flaps. This technique is useful in a number of dermatological procedures. It can be used to correct defects resulting from surgical complications. This paper highlights several examples where Z-Plasty is of benefit in dermatosurgery, including the correction of: ectropion, lip misalignment and bifid earlobe. A valuable technique that every dermatologist should be able to perform.
