AB  - Random  pattern  flaps  are  an  indispensable  reconstruction  option  for  closure  of  wounds  which  may  not  be  suitable  for  healing  by  second  intention  or  repair  with  a  linear  closure.  Defects  too  large  to  close  in  a  side-to-side  fashion  may  be  ideally  suited  for  such  flaps,  which  are  recruited  from  adjacent  tissue  reservoirs  and  use  tissue  with  a  similar  skin  match.  When  second  intention  healing  or  linear  closure  may  result  in  distortion  of  free  margins,  well-designed  random  pattern  flaps  can  be  helpful  in  redirecting  and  redistributing  tension  vectors  and  allow  incision  lines  to  be  hidden  along  cosmetic  boundaries  and  relaxed  skin  tension  lines.
