Abstract:
The reconstruction of subtotal and total losses of the nose involves the use of local and regional flaps from a variety of areas. The forehead flap, using either a Converse reconstruction or a midline glabellar reconstruction, has been widely used for large losses. In order to obviate this type of reconstruction, we have used tissue expansion to gain large flaps for large defects. Our technique and three representative cases are presented.
