The use of otherwise redundant skin to provide nasal lining in the reconstruction of full-thickness alar defects by nasolabial flap repair. [Case Reports, Journal Article]
Br J Plast Surg 1999 Jan; 52(1):29-32.
The use of otherwise redundant nasolabial flap skin is described for lining in reconstruction of full-thickness alar defects. The techniques have been successfully used to reconstruct full-thickness alar defects in four patients. The overall procedure has the advantage of providing well-vascularised tissue of appropriate colour, texture and thickness for external skin and nasal lining in one-stage reconstruction.
