Background:
A forehead frontal flap is the treatment of choice for complex nasal defects. However, in patients with contra indications for such frontal flaps, few alternatives are available.
Methods:
We developed a three-stage, nasal reconstruction procedure using a bipedicled, propeller perforator flap based on the modiolus perforators. Here, we describe the flap, the harvesting thereof, and the 6-month outcomes after placement.
Results:
The flap did not exhibit any sign of necrosis or congestion. Six months after reconstruction, the patient had not suffered any esthetic or functional sequela.
Conclusion:
Although the indications for our new flap are less numerous than those for a frontal flap, our flap is a useful alternative when frontal flap placement is not feasible (or the patient refuses such a flap) and when placement of a free flap is too risky.

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
