Mohs micrographic surgery creates defects requiring various closure techniques to optimize function and cosmesis in the cosmetic units of the face. Surgical rotational flaps are a subtype of random pattern cutaneous flaps that pivot into their final position, differing from traditional advancement flaps. A rotational flap may be indicated for triangular-shaped defects or those where the tension vector of the primary wound requires alteration. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, complications, and surgical technique of designing and employing a surgical rotational flap in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients treated with this closure method.
