Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Head and Neck Oncology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • Extensive nasal tumor resection often leaves significant defects in the nasal skeleton.
  • Subtotal and total nasal reconstruction typically requires multiple surgical stages.
  • Elderly or medically/socially compromised patients may not tolerate multi-stage procedures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a one-stage nasal reconstruction technique using an inverted forehead island flap for extensive defects.
  • To provide a viable reconstructive option for patients unsuitable for multi-stage surgeries.

Summary:

  • The inverted forehead island flap technique was utilized for nasal reconstruction in three cases of extensive tumor resection.
  • The flap's skin provides the inner lining, with a split-thickness skin graft covering the outer surface.

  • This method achieves reconstruction in a single stage, avoiding the need for cartilage or bone grafts.
  • Impact:

    • Enables single-stage nasal reconstruction, reducing patient burden and recovery time.
    • Offers a relatively stable reconstructed nose without the need for additional implants.
    • Presents a valuable alternative for reconstructive surgery in challenging patient populations.
