Summary

A novel bivalved, full-thickness paramedian forehead flap technique offers a viable solution for reconstructing large nasal lining defects when local flaps are unsuitable. This method ensures flap survival and minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Head and Neck Reconstruction
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Reconstructing intranasal lining defects often relies on local flaps, which may not be suitable for all cases.
  • Large defects or prior surgeries can limit the availability of traditional intranasal lining options.

Observation:

  • A retrospective review of 5 cases utilizing a bivalved, full-thickness paramedian forehead flap was conducted.
  • The technique leverages the supratrochlear artery's vascularity to create a pliable, vascularized intranasal lining.
  • This flap allows for the incorporation of bone and cartilage grafts between its layers.

Findings:

  • All 5 flaps demonstrated successful survival.
  • Three patients experienced minor complications, which resolved with conservative management.

Implications:

  • The bivalved, full-thickness forehead flap presents a viable alternative for intranasal lining reconstruction, particularly in complex cases.
  • This technique expands reconstructive options for surgeons dealing with extensive defects where local flaps are contraindicated.
