    Summary

    Nasal reconstruction using flaps like the arm flap has a long history. This study reviews flap viability, complications, and time for total nasal reconstruction in 180 patients, noting decreased current experience due to earlier cancer treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Dermatologic Surgery

    Background:

    • Nasal reconstruction is a long-standing surgical procedure.
    • Limited data exists on the long-term viability, durability, and operative time for various nasal reconstruction flaps.
    • Cutaneous malignancy is the primary indication for nasal reconstruction, accounting for 80% of cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the viability, durability, and time involved in total nasal reconstruction using different flap techniques.
    • To analyze complications and the number of operative procedures required for complete nasal reconstruction.
    • To correlate specific flap types with a classification of nasal defects.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 180 patients undergoing nasal reconstruction from 1940.

  • Exclusion of midline forehead flaps for partial reconstruction.
  • Review of arm flap (Tagliacozzi), total forehead flap, sickle flap, and acromiopectoral flap outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis of complications, total operations, and time for complete reconstruction for each flap type.
    • Classification of nasal defects into five types and correlation with flap selection.
    • Observation of a decrease in current surgical experience due to earlier detection and treatment of nasal malignancies.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides historical data on the effectiveness and challenges of various nasal reconstruction flaps.
    • Understanding flap characteristics is crucial for successful total nasal reconstruction.
    • Evolving oncologic treatments are impacting the prevalence of complex nasal reconstruction cases.
