Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

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...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Otolaryngology

Background:

Complex nasal reconstructions necessitate meticulous planning and accurate time estimation for each surgical stage.
Reconstruction of the entire nose, multiple subunits, or substantial subunits typically involves lining replacement and cartilage grafting.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the essential components and considerations for staged complex nasal reconstructions.
To highlight preferred methods for lining coverage and cartilage grafting in nasal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Discussion of preferred lining coverage techniques, including the Menick folded paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) and free radial forearm flap.
Exploration of cartilage grafting timing (first or second stage) in staged nasal reconstructions.
Emphasis on patient education and surgeon patience for staged procedures.

Main Results:

The Menick folded paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) and free radial forearm flap are gold standards for initial lining coverage.
Cartilage grafting is a fundamental element, with flexible timing options within staged reconstructions.
Successful staged reconstructions require comprehensive patient education and surgeon commitment.

Conclusions:

Staged nasal reconstruction demands thorough planning, optimal lining coverage (e.g., PMFF), and strategic cartilage grafting.
Patient and surgeon patience, alongside clear education, are crucial for achieving satisfactory outcomes, potentially including final revisions.
