Forehead flap reconstruction effectively repairs extensive nasal defects, including those with significant skin, cartilage, and lining loss. This method achieves near-normal functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Extensive nasal defects pose reconstruction challenges due to nasal complexity and potential loss of lining or skeletal support after skin cancer removal.
  • Reconstructing the nose requires addressing its intricate topography, mobile margins, and subunit structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the experience and outcomes of using forehead flap reconstruction for extensive nasal defects.
  • To evaluate the functional and aesthetic results of this reconstructive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 147 patients.
  • Forehead flap reconstruction for nasal defects following Mohs excision of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
  • Assessment of functional and aesthetic outcomes, defect characteristics, and need for lining/cartilage grafts.

Main Results:

  • Forehead flaps were used in 147 cases of extensive nasal defects.
  • All defects involved full-thickness skin loss; 46% had skeletal support loss and 31% had mucosal lining loss.
  • The study describes the surgical technique and experience with forehead flap reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Forehead flap reconstruction is a highly effective method for extensive nasal defects.
  • This technique can yield near-normal functional and cosmetic results.
  • It is suitable for complex nasal reconstructions involving skin, cartilage, and lining deficits.
