ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Reconstruction of the nasal defect caused by resection of nose neoplasm or trauma represents a particular challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Each tissue defect has to be evaluated individually in terms of the best possible substitution or alteration from both aesthetic and functional points of view. The method of reconstruction varies according to the location, size, and depth of the defect. Of various methods, local Rap is frequently used because the nasal contours are variable with convex and concave surfaces in close proximity, and there is little lax skin from which to borrow tissue for closure, and the skin of the nose has a texture and color not easily matched by skin elsewhere. Of various local flaps, transposition flap and forehead flap are most frequently used for reconstruction of the nasal defect. The authors carried out retrospectively a clinical study on seven cases of nasal reconstruction that used local flaps after resection of malignant tumors of the nose with a brief review of the literature. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A single surgeon's results in seven consecutive patients were clinically analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:
There were no significant complications. Good aesthetic and functional outcomes were observed with nasal defects reconstructed with the local flaps.CONCLUSION:
Local flaps were the most useful choice for reconstructive rhinoplasty. Transposition flaps and forehead flaps, in particular, were particularly useful for each cosmetic unit of the nose.
