Area of Science:

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Otolaryngology
Dermatologic surgery

Background:

Nasal ala reconstruction presents significant challenges.
Maintaining 3D concavity, symmetry, and nasal valve patency is crucial.
Full-thickness defects often necessitate complex, multi-stage repairs.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel single-stage technique for nasal ala reconstruction.
To address the challenges of defect contour, symmetry, and function.
To present an alternative to traditional staged procedures.

Main Methods:

A subcutaneous pedicle advancement flap with 180-degree transposition was utilized.
The technique was applied to full-thickness nasal ala defects.
Single-stage repair was performed to reconstruct the ala.

Main Results:

The described flap technique allows for single-stage reconstruction.
This method addresses the aesthetic and functional demands of ala repair.
Successful reconstruction was achieved in the described cases.

Conclusions:

A subcutaneous pedicle advancement flap with transposition offers an effective single-stage solution for nasal ala reconstruction.
This technique can achieve satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcomes.
It provides a valuable alternative for managing full-thickness nasal ala defects.
