[Modern methods of partial nasal reconstruction (author's transl)]

On the basis of selected examples on the possibilities of partial reconstruction of the nose with special regard to cosmetically advantageous reconstructive methods is reported. Our preference is given to the frontotemporal flap following Schmid, which is performed in several operation stages and varied in dependence upon the position and largeness of nasal defects. However, for older patients the nasolabial flap is recommended, because it is an one-stage operation technique.
