Abstract
|
|
|
The nose is the most prominent visible and central fearure of the human face. Its size, shape and configuration, therefore, play a significant role in the determination of man’s appearance. Real or imaged deformity of the nose is highly significant in the indivisual’s conception of his own self image. Also its position make it vulnerable to trauma.
The degree of loss and deformity usually dictate the type and quantity of tissue required for correction and for the most satisfactory reconstruction, the surgeon must consider all of the alternatives to reach the end point with the fewest number of the procedures in the most predictable manner and leave the least amount of donor deformity. Of course, the tissues closest to the nose will give the best result with most natural appearence in color and texture.
We had experienced 7 cases of nasal reconstruction: using midline forehead flap for the defect of nasal tip, midline island forehead flap with a subcutaneous pedicle for the defect of cover of the nose, midline forehead flap and scalping flap for subtoral defect of the nose and nasolabial flap for the defect of ala nasi. So we could report them with reviews of the relating references.
