The current paper presents a case report of lower eyelid reconstruction after removal of a basal cell carcinoma. Our novel reconstruction method consists of translation and rotation of a paramedian forehead flap into the defect, conjunctivorhinostomy for reconstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, and placement of a sandwich ear cartilage graft that is primarily seated into the forehead flap to maintain the vertical dimension of the eyelid. This “all-in-one” technique has the advantage of one-step reconstruction, avoiding multiple surgical procedures.

Background. Posttraumatic and postoperative defects of columella and the tip of the nose are difficult to reconstruct. There are several operative methods described in the literature, and many of them are step-by-step procedures with long duration. The aim of this study was to present one-step procedure for reconstruction of the columella and the tip of the nose with island-shaped arterial forehead flap. Case report. A 45-year old man was submitted to surgical excision of basocellular skin cancer. After the excision, a defect of the columella and tip of the nose the remained, 3 ? 2.5 cm in dimensions, with exposed alar cartilages. During the same operation, the defect was covered with an island-shaped arterial forehead flap. Postoperative one-year course was uneventful, without signs of tumor recurrence after one year, and further surgical corrections were unnecessary. Conclusion. Considering the results of our operative technique, we believe that middle island-shaped forehead flap is suitable for reconstruction of the columella and the tip of the nose, due to the following reasons: safe vascularization of flap, similarity of the transferred tissue with the excised one, the procedure is completed in one step, simple surgical technique and uncomplicated healing of a flap-harvesting site.
