Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • Full-thickness nasal defects often require complex reconstruction.
  • Established surgical techniques exist, but novel or less common methods warrant evaluation.
  • The Schmid-Meyer fronto-temporal flap is a reconstructive technique based on flap autonomization with a composite cartilaginous graft.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of the Schmid-Meyer flap procedure for full-thickness nasal reconstruction.
  • To determine if this technique remains a viable option for repairing defects in the lower third of the nose.

Summary:

  • Nine cases of nasal reconstruction using the Schmid-Meyer flap were retrospectively analyzed.
  • The procedure involves a multi-step approach with a tailor-made composite cartilaginous graft.

  • Excellent reconstruction of the ala, columella, or nasal tip was achieved in specific indications, with 8 out of 9 cases yielding good or very good results, often under local anesthesia (78%).

    • Impact:

    • The Schmid-Meyer flap procedure demonstrates potential for high-quality nasal reconstruction with minimal scarring.
    • This technique may be a valuable option for select patients requiring full-thickness repair of the lower nose.
    • Further investigation could solidify its role in the reconstructive surgeon's armamentarium.
