    Summary

    This study introduces a nasal reconstruction method using vascularized flaps for cartilage grafts. This technique improves nasal projection, airway patency, and appearance, reducing revision surgeries.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Nasal reconstruction presents challenges in achieving aesthetic and functional outcomes.
    • Previous methods often require multiple revisions for optimal results.

    Observation:

    • A novel technique utilizes thin, vascularized local flaps for nasal lining and cover.
    • Delicate cartilage grafts are placed primarily, supported by these vascularized flaps.

    Findings:

    • The cartilage fabrication ensures projection, airway patency, and natural nasal contour.
    • Replacing tissue in kind and quantity minimizes the need for secondary sculpting or debulking procedures.

    Implications:

    • This method offers a more predictable and efficient approach to nasal reconstruction.
    • It is applicable to various nasal defects, including tip, heminose, subtotal, and total defects.
