Total Columella Reconstruction Using Nasocheek Flap and Septal Cartilage Graft
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of the nasocheek sulcus flap with a cartilage strut provides an aesthetically pleasing result in total columella reconstruction. This provides thin hairless skin appropriate for the subunit. Mohs surgery aids in limiting the excision to the tumor involved area, providing a complete clearance and conserving precious units, which have an impact on the reconstructive options. The method of reconstruction described here is simple and easily reproducible, providing an optimal result with almost no donor site morbidity.
