LAUSR

inability to fill deeper defects, as subcutaneous fat is usually trimmed from the graft to enhance survival. Additional possible complications include pin-cushioning, persistent dyschromia, and graft failure secondary to skin-edge tension associated with primary closure of the adjacent donor site. In patients who prefer to avoid more involved surgical approaches, a local Burow’s graft provides a simple, singlestage, single-site reconstructive option to minimize surgical intervention, and maximize cosmetic and functional outcomes for small(<1.5 cm) to moderately-sized (1.5–2 cm) helical rim defects.
