Various flaps have been used to reconstruct the surgical defects following excision of fibrous bands . It is inevitable to prevent these flaps from trauma by occlusion . The main objective of the authors is to introduce a technical innovation used to protect the flaps in the post-operative period . Here , we propose an easy and economical method to protect the flaps .
