Popis: The reconstruction of internal lining in nasal reconstruction is critical to the final result. Most established techniques carry important drawbacks, which include limited available lining surface area, compromise of nasal physiologic function, or donor site morbidity. In this report, we demonstrate a technique that is reliable, technically facile, and allows for the reconstruction of large surface areas: the creation of a bilaminated forehead flap by in situ split-thickness skin grafting. The use of the bilaminated forehead flap in subsequent reconstructive steps allows for dependable reconstruction. All relevant technical steps are illustrated in detail.
