Summary
A new cheek advancement-rotation flap effectively reconstructs nasal sidewall and cheek defects, offering good aesthetic outcomes with minimal complications for skin cancer patients.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Dermatologic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Context:
- Cutaneous tumors frequently occur on the nasal sidewall and adjacent cheek.
- Reconstruction of defects in these areas presents a surgical challenge.
Purpose:
- To present an advancement-rotation cheek flap technique for nasal sidewall and paranasal cheek defects.
- To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this flap in a clinical setting.
Summary:
- A retrospective study analyzed 11 patients (mean age 66) with basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma requiring reconstruction of nasal sidewall, cheek, or lower eyelid defects.
- The advancement-rotation cheek flap was employed, with most surgeries performed under local anesthesia.
- No significant post-surgical complications were reported, with one case of a resolving subcutaneous granuloma. Aesthetic outcomes were generally good, and no tumor recurrence was observed during follow-up (14-40 months).
Impact:
- The advancement-rotation cheek flap is a viable and effective reconstructive option for defects up to 3 cm involving the nasal sidewall, paranasal cheek, and lower eyelid.
- This technique offers good aesthetic results and oncological safety for managing cutaneous malignancies in the midface region.

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
16.9K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

1.1K
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

01:30Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
8.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
