Popis: The nasal region is a frequent site of keratinocyte carcinomas. Its peculiar anatomy, contour, and three-dimensionality make surgical repair challenging. Eventually, in situations of greater complexity, a single technique may not be sufficient to restore the original anatomy, requiring the association of methods. This article describes a strategy for reconstructing a full-thickness alar defect, including the nasal margin, based on the combination of a nasolabial transposition flap with a hinge flap. It is a safe procedure, dependent on the mobilization of local tissue and performed in a single surgical procedure.
