| Popis: | Reconstruction of total nasal defects remains one of the most difficult problems in plastic surgery as the nose combines aesthetics and function. Standard techniques using either forehead or nasolabial flaps do not have a place in the case of extensive scarring on the face or areas with high risk of cancer recurrence on the face. In these cases, microsurgical free tissue transfer for the soft tissue reconstruction in combination with bone grafts or implants for the nasal skeleton are ideal. We report the use of prelaminated radial forearm flap with porous polyethylene implants for total nasal reconstruction. |
