Summary
The paramedian forehead flap (PFF) is a reliable method for complex nasal reconstruction, restoring form and function after cancer surgery. This technique successfully rebuilt a full-thickness nasal defect, achieving excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Oncologic Reconstruction
Background:
- Nasal defects larger than 1.5 cm after oncologic resection pose significant reconstructive challenges.
- Interpolated flaps, like the paramedian forehead flap (PFF), are often necessary for restoring nasal form and function.
