Popis: Summary:. Nasal reconstruction can be a difficult task to perform. It is a challenge when the defect to be reconstructed is extensive and involves the entire thickness of the nose. The difficulty is further increased when a recurrent tumor is removed, where other flaps were previously used to reconstruct the initial defect. A therapeutic option is microsurgical reconstruction; however, sometimes this cannot be performed. Furthermore, free flaps such as the anterolateral thigh or the antebrachialis radial tend to be very thick for the integuments of the face. Therefore, it is important to think of another reconstructive option to solve this problem. We present a case of nasal reconstruction with a prelaminated temporoparietal osteofascial flap, after full-thickness excision for recurrent carcinoma.
