| Popis: | Purpose of review Total nasal reconstruction is a unique plastic surgery challenge of the highest order. The history of nasal reconstruction dates back to ancient times and it remains a fundamental challenge today. This article reviews the historical context of nasal reconstruction, and highlights how the essential tenets of this art have been conserved over millennia. Recent findings The disfiguring and brutal practice of nasal amputation created a demand for 'nosemakers' in India since 1500 BC. In 600 BC, Sushruta described the use of a leaf to make a template of the wound, and a cheek flap to supply tissue. In the 1400-1500s, the Italians relied on similar flap concepts, but employed a pedicled arm flap for soft tissue coverage. Eventually, the forehead flap, or 'Indian method' of nasal reconstruction, made its way to Europe in the 1800s. Its use has been a fundamental component of nasal reconstruction to this day. Summary Knowledge of the unique history of nasal reconstruction permits appreciation of this surgical integration of art and science. The story of nasal reconstruction has been one of global contribution and creativity that has stood the test of time. |
