Successful replantation of an amputated nasal tip by microvascular anastomosis

Successful microsurgical replantation of a completely avulsed nasal tip is presented. The result is excellent. The technical challenge involved no sizable veins for drainage. This problem was solved by an artery-to-vein shunting. For facial avulsions, there is nothing superior to the original tissue, and replantation should always be attempted first.
