Various methods such as skin grafts, local flaps, and free tissue transfers are available, but each has limitations. The bilobed flap, traditionally used in nasal reconstruction, offers reliable vascularity and favorable aesthetic outcomes; however, its use in dorsal hand defects has rarely been reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study evaluated 16 patients treated for dorsal hand defects following tumor excision between 2016 and 2021. Reconstruction was performed by using bilobed perforator flaps. Patients with comorbidities, such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, vascular sclerosis, or a history of smoking, were excluded. Data collected included patient demographics, defect and flap sizes, complications, postoperative Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) and Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores, and follow\u2010up durations. Flaps were designed based on perforator localization, with primary and secondary lobes proportionally constructed to ensure optimal coverage and minimal tension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The average age was 55.63\u2009years.
