Choice of Single-Staged Reconstruction of Nasal Defect: Introduction:
The nasal defect is still a challenge for plastic surgeon now. Many surgical options are reported in previous literatures. There are few studies reported about the 1-staged repair of large nasal defect. In this article, the authors describe the experience about the nasal reconstruction in the last 8 years.
Patients and Methods:
Fifty-two patients diagnosed with nasal defect were retrospectively examined between 2011 and 2018. All of them performed under local anesthesia and received 1-staged surgical method.
Results:
In the authors’ patients, the mean size of the defect was 2.16 cm. Nine patients were treated by nasolabial flap, and 30 patients were treated by local flap. The modified auricular composite tissue flap was used in 5 patients. There were no major postoperative complications. All patients were satisfied with aesthetically nasal contours as well as inconspicuous scars when follow-up.
Conclusion:
Single-staged reconstruction is still considered the first choice for nasal defect. The design of flap depends on the surrounding condition and the size of defect. Locoregional flaps are still considered as an ideal choice for nasal reconstruction in most patients. O–Z flap and modified auricular free flap could be an option for large-sized defect of nasal alar and nasal tip.
