This study presents a novel three-dimensional nasal reconstruction technique for complex defects involving skin, cartilage, and mucosa. The innovative approach ensures both aesthetic and functional recovery, restoring nasal form and airflow effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Biomaterials in Medicine

Background:

  • Complex nasal defects involving skin, cartilage, and mucosa pose significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Restoring both aesthetic appearance and functional nasal airflow is paramount in nasal reconstruction.
  • Existing techniques often require multiple stages and may not fully address all tissue layers.

Observation:

  • A novel surgical technique utilizing a silicon sheet to create separate flaps for subsequent sessions without vascular damage was employed.
  • Galea was prefabricated with a thin skin graft for nasal mucosa cover, and an expander thinned surrounding tissues.
  • Cartilage grafts from the nasal septum were used to repair cartilage framework defects.

Findings:

  • The described technique successfully reconstructed full-thickness nasal defects in three sessions.

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction

Published on: December 5, 2025

  • Forehead flap utilization provided anatomically sufficient nasal skin and mucosa.
  • The method achieved a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome, restoring nasal form and airflow.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable solution for complex, full-thickness nasal defects.
    • It potentially reduces the number of surgical sessions required for nasal reconstruction.
    • The approach highlights the importance of combined tissue engineering and reconstructive surgery for optimal patient outcomes.
