Abstract:
Invasive carcinomas of the medial canthus may require the removal of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and nasal bone, which can result in a nasal fistula of the medial canthus. I applied a nasolabial flap on the inside of the fistula and a forehead flap on the outside to reconstruct such a fistula. This technique was successful in three patients.
