Popis: Abstract Background Our article describes our experience with using a frontal axial pattern flap combined with hard palate mucosa transplant to reconstruct midfacial defects after the excision of huge basal cell carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively reviewed four patients diagnosed with midface huge basal cell carcinoma through biopsy between 2014 and 2016. Both the eyelid and nose were involved in all the patients. All the patients underwent the studied surgical method and were followed up from 12 to 36 months. Results All the patients preserved good eyelid function and relatively good esthetic satisfaction. No basal cell carcinoma recurred. Conclusions This combined surgical procedure is a good method for reconstructing defects after the excision of huge basal cell carcinomas in the midface.
