In 2009, we have described the use of freestyle facial artery perforator flaps for one-stage nose reconstruction. Since then, several articles have reported the use of facial artery perforator flaps for nose reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to provide an update of the published technique after 10 years of experience. Since 2004, 21 patients have been treated with a freestyle facia...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To assess the survival of full-thickness skin grafts and perichondrial cutaneous grafts when placed on subcutaneous soft tissue flaps used in nasal reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series from a secondary-care cutaneous cancer practice. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with nasal defects secondary to basal cell carcinoma excision were included. Clinical inf...

Nasal arterio-venous malformations (AVM) are uncommon lesions. We present a rare case of huge, long standing AVM in the nasal area which was treated by angioembolization, followed by surgical excision and forehead flap reconstruction.

Reconstruction of an external nasal defect presents a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Transferring retroauricular tissue on a temporal pedicle was first described by Washio as a means to repair the central portion of the face. This paper describes our experience with the Washio retroauricular temporal flap for nasal reconstruction in twelve patients, together with our modifications to ...

Reconstruction of nasal tip and columella defects is demanding area with a range of reconstructive options, varying in complexity depending on requirements from simple skin grafting to multiple stage reconstruction with regional flaps. A framework is suggested to aid the reader in choice of reconstruction by classifying the defect based on size and the requirements of one to three layer (full t...
