Summary
This article reviews common negative outcomes in nasal reconstruction and highlights technical refinements to improve results. It emphasizes the effectiveness of regional axial island flaps, specifically the lateral nasal artery flap, for successful nasal restoration.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
- Facial Aesthetic Surgery
Background:
- Nasal reconstruction is a complex surgical challenge due to the nose's central facial prominence.
- Historically, nasal reconstruction techniques have evolved significantly.
- Negative outcomes can impact both function and aesthetics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify common negative outcomes in conventional nasal reconstruction.
- To detail technical refinements that mitigate and prevent adverse results.
- To explore the utility of regional axial island flaps, particularly the lateral nasal artery flap.
Main Methods:
- Review of established and novel surgical techniques for nasal reconstruction.
- Analysis of complications associated with various surgical approaches.
- Focus on specific flap techniques for aesthetic subunits.
Main Results:
- Conventional methods carry specific risks and complications.
- Technical refinements offer improved predictability and outcomes.
- Regional axial island flaps, including the lateral nasal artery flap, provide effective solutions.
Conclusions:
- Understanding and avoiding common pitfalls is crucial for successful nasal reconstruction.
- Advanced techniques and flap options enhance reconstructive results.
- The lateral nasal artery flap is a valuable tool for nasal restoration.

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
5.7K
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...

01:29Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract
3.0K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.

01:29Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula
1.2K
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
3.2K
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...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
1.3K
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.

01:30Epistaxis
291
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...
