Summary
The nasoseptal flap, a versatile surgical tool, was successfully used for nasal lining reconstruction in a complex heminasal defect. This novel application offers excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes for patients with full-thickness nasal defects.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Plastic Surgery
- Head and Neck Surgery
Background:
- The pedicled mucoperichondrial nasoseptal flap, described in 2006, is established for skull base reconstruction due to its vascularity and reliability.
- Its application in reconstructing full-thickness nasal lining defects remains undescribed in existing literature.
