Large soft tissue defects reconstruction represents a frequent and complex challenge in plastic surgery. A critical point regards the equilibrium between the need of large amount of tissue, while minimizing donor site morbidity. This is a common issue that plastic surgeons face in their clinical practice. In this context, the chimeric conjoint flap technique can be a valuable option, allowing to better exploit many well‐known procedures. The purpose of the present work is to show the reconstructive efficacy and reliability of this technique resorting to many different well‐known flaps. No such a comprehensive collection of cases is available so far dealing with this procedure.
