Application of nasolabial sulcus flap combined with skin graft in alinasal defects repair / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To explore the feasibility of nasolabial sulcus flap transfer with autologous free skin graft to repair the alar defects after malignant tumor resection.Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,9 patients with malignant tumor were treated in the hospital.After complete tumor removal,the defect area being reconstructed was 1.5 cm × 1.3 cm to 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm.The defects of 9 patients were all restored with nasolabial sulcus flap combined with autologous free skin graft.Results The 9 patients were followed up for 6-18 months postoperatively.The nasolabial sulcus flap and autologous free skin graft were survived completely in all cases.Symmetrical alae were noted with slight edema within nasal cavity but without difficult ventilation.Scar was repaired in phase-two surgery.Conclusions Nasolabial sulcus flap combined with autologous free skin graft is an optional way in alar defects restoration.Further with secondary morphologic plasty,satisfactory surgical outcome can be achieved.

Clinical application of the nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap in repairing pinna nasi defect / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To explore the feasibility of nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap in repairing pinna defects to produce the relative perfect appearance.Methods We treated 10 cases of pinna nasi defects by the nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap.We examined the blood vessel distribution and exit of the blood vessel before surgery,and designed the nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap according to the pinna defects.The flap with reasonable thickness was able to repair the both sides of defect after being cut properly.Meanwhile,the flap could be folded to form a local flap covered or lined with skin,and rotately transfered to repair nasal alar defect.Results All the flaps survived with incisions of donor sites healed primarily.Following up for 4 to 24 months showed that the color,texture and thickness of the flaps were similar to those of recipient sites.The scar in donor site was concealed and not obvious.Those cases who kept neurocutaneous branch had good sense.Satisfactory appearance was received without secondary repair.Conclusions The nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap has abundant blood circulation and easily survives.It can also afford ample tissues to repair major area of pinna nasi defects,The blood vessel peduncle is too long to be survived easily.And the donor has not clear scar.Second reconstruction can be avoided in this procedure.The nasolabial fold wrapped perforator flap is one of the best choices to repair pinna defects.

Application of auricular composite tissue flap graft in reconstruction of nasal alar defect / 局解手术学杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the application of auricular composite tissue flap in treatment of nasal alar de-fect. Methods 43 cases of nasal defects patients were admitted to our hospital from January 2008 to March 2013, 23 cases of them were treated with auricular composite tissue flap transplantation, and the other 20 cases were given nasolabial sulcus flap transfer operation. All patients were followed-up for 6 to 12 months, and the rate of secondary surgery, proliferation of scar, and flap survival of the two groups were compared. Results Treatment of auricular composite tissue flap transplantation has more advantages in terms of the rate of secondary surgery, proliferation of scar, and flap survival, and the difference is of statistical significance (P<0. 05). And there is no obvious differ-ence in satisfaction degree of cosmetic outcomes. Conclusion Auricular composite tissue flap surgery has the advantages of simple opera-tion, good appearance and good efficacy.
