The nasolabial flap is primarily used for nasal reconstruction and most frequently for full-thickness alar reconstruction due to the tissue’s location, texture, color, and bulk. The inferiorly based flap is most often used for alar reconstruction, while the superiorly based flap may also be used for nasal sidewall as well as alar reconstruction. Regardless of whether the flap will be superiorly or inferiorly based, the critical component of the patient marking is placement of the medial incision in the nasolabial or nasofacial crease. In the younger patient, consideration must be given to the donor site scar.

Closure of nasal defect remains a challenge for surgeons. There are several ways to do nasal reconstruction, including donor site for nasal reconstruction due to its vascularity that is superior to other areas. Methods: This is a case report of a 75-year old male patient with Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his left nostril who underwent wide excision. This action left a 4-cm defect, whilst the nasal septum remained intact. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. This defect closure was using V-Y advancement full thickness nasolabial flap in one step. Results: The defect closure was performed with tum over local (nasobialis) flap from the left side of the nasal cartilage. The superiority of this flap, it is able to be performed bulking, so that closure with turn over local nasolabial flap has been a sole option in nostril reconstruction for decades, which gave very good cosmetic results. After being followed for 1 month after surgery, the flap was viable, the contour was well formed, the scar was minimal, and there was no respiratory disruption. The patient was satisfied by the results. Conclusion: Nasolabial turn over local flap can be used as an option to close a relatively wide nostril

Background: Reconstruction of full thickness nasal defects usually requires different donor sites for the external skin envelope, structural elements, and internal nasal lining. In this paper we present a novel single site method for dual inner lining and skeleton repair for full thickness nasal defects with a composite nasoseptal flap and extended pedicle dissection. Methods: A 72-year-old male presented with a T4b melanoma involving the nasal dorsum and left upper lateral cartilage. Following full thickness resection, reconstruction was performed with a nasoseptal flap (NSF) with attached septal cartilage and vomer in conjunction with a paramedian forehead flap. Extended pedicle dissection into the pterygopalatine fossa allowed the NSF to fully cover the defect. Results: The nasal defect was fully corrected. There was no evidence of flap compromise or nasal valve stenosis at 1 month, 2 month, and 1 year follow-up visits. Conclusions: We present here the first successful application of a composite cartilage-osseous-mucosal NSF for multilayered nasal reconstruction. In appropriate patients, this technique may obviate the need for flaps or grafts from extranasal sources, limiting donor site morbidity.

A retrospective study of 13 patients assessed the use of a full thickness skin graft for nail unit reconstruction after total nail unit removal for nail bed malignancies. No failures of the graft were observed and no patient had recurrence of the malignant tumour at 4 year follow-up. Full thickness skin grafting is a simple procedure which provides a good cosmetic outcome and does not produce significant donor site morbidity.

Costal Cartilage Graft

AbstractFull-thickness articular cartilage defects do not heal spontaneously. Several techniques have been developed to address this issue, but none resulted in the restitutio ad integrum of the articular cartilage. The most frequent sites of chondral lesion in the knee are medial femoral condyle and patella. The patellofemoral lesions are characterized by outcomes that are generally worse than those of tibiofemoral ones. To date, it has been well recognized the chondrogenic potential of rib perichondrium, and costal cartilage grafts have been extensively used in reconstructive surgery. Considering the need to find a gold standard technique to restore articular defect, we developed and here described a new technique to repair cartilage lesions of the knee using autologous costal cartilage graft with its perichondrium. This innovative surgical approach can be used to treat full thickness articular defects using autologous hyaline cartilage, making it possible to cover wide defects. This one step technique is low invasive, not technically demanding with minimal donor site morbidity and it has low costs. The long-term clinical efficacy of the method remains to be evaluated.

Primary Phenomenon

Retraction of columella and collapse of nasal tip may be a primary phenomenon or secondary to poor results of rhinoplasty. This may be due to excessive resection of dorsocaudal septum or inappropriate removal of the nasal spine. Reconstruction of the columella is a difficult surgical procedure and many techniques have been described. This report describes a technique of interposition of a composite skin-conchal cartilage graft between the caudal septum and columella. The graft will restore the projection of the nasal tip and correct a retracted columella by increasing its base. The newly positioned columella forms an aesthetically acceptable obtuse angle with the lip and is 2–3 mm lower than the alar rims. The cartilage from the concha of the ear is an excellent grafting material for nasal reconstruction. It has been used for augmentation of the nasal dorsum, tip grafting, and correction of vestibular atresia. The graft is harvested utilizing a technique that allows for minimal postoperative auricular deformity at the donor site. Aesthetic results have been satisfactory, with very low morbidity following this method.
