<p>The paramedian forehead flap is a great option for restoring complex nasal defects. Its main indications are large and deep wounds located on the distal third of the nose (tip and ala). For full-thickness defects, the paramedian forehead flap may be used alone or in combination with other methods. We presented a patient with a nodular basal cell carcinoma on the nasal tip and collumela treated by Mohs micrographic surgery and repaired with a paramedian forehead flap. Prior to reconstruction, it is essential that surgical margins are completely evaluated and free of tumor. For optimal paramedian forehead flap results, adequate surgical planning and meticulous technique are imperative.</p>

Latar belakang: Penutupan defek wajah yang luas dengan jabir bebas forearm dan jabir foreheadparamedian merupakan salah satu pilihan pada pasien pasca eksisi luas dan pemberian radioterapi akibatkeganasan kepala leher. Tetapi cara ini bukan merupakan pilihan yang utama, meskipun memiliki tingkatkeberhasilan yang baik, khususnya pasca radioterapi.Tujuan: Kasus ini diajukan untuk memperlihatkankeberhasilan penutupan defek wajah yang luas dengan jabir bebas forearm, jabir forehead paramedianpasca eksisi luas dan radioterapi pada kasus karsinoma sel basal.Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan seorangperempuan 68 tahun dengan karsinoma sel basal yang dilakukan tindakan eksisi luas dan radioterapi.Penatalaksanaan: Setelah 6 bulan pasca radioterapi, dilakukan penutupan defek dengan menggunakanjabir bebas forearm, dan jabir forehead paramedian yang digunakan sebagai pengganti mukosa hidung sertadilakukan anastomosis radial forearm. Bagian dahi ditutup dengan full thickness skin graft (FTSG) yangdiambil dari regio abdominal pasien.Kesimpulan: Jabir bebas forearm dan jabir forehead paramedianmerupakan salah satu alternatif untuk rekonstruksi defek luas pada daerah kepala leher sesudah radioterapi. Kata kunci: Jabir bebas forearm, jabir forehead paramedian, karsinoma sel basal, radioterapi, eksisi luas ABSTRACTBackground: Paramedian forehead flap and radial forearm free flap is one option for reformationof excessive defect caused by tumor extirpation and radiotherapy in head and neck cancer, but not themain option in head neck reconstruction. In some certain condition, it has a better success rate thanother flap techniques, especially in postradiation patients on facial region. Purpose: To present evidencebased case report in order to show the result of reconstruction in a patient with basal cell carcinomawho underwent wide excision with paramedian forehead flap, radial forearm free flap and radiotherapy.Case report: We reported one case, a 68 years old woman who had basal cell carcinoma and underwentwide excision and radiotherapy. Management: Six months later, we performed reconstructive surgeryto close the forehead defect by reverse paramedian forehead flap, and replacing the nasal mucosa withradial forearm anastomosis, on the forehead covered with a full thickness skin graft (FTSG) taken fromabdominal region of the patient. Conclusion: Radial forearm and paramedian forehead flap can beconsidered as an alternative for reconstruction of wide defect of the head pasca radiotherapy. Keywords: Radial forearm flap, and paramedian forehead flap, basal cell carcinoma, radiotherapy, wideexcision Alamat korespondensi: Lina Marlina, Departemen Ilmu Kesehatan Telinga Hidung Tenggorok-BedahKepala Leher, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Padjadjaran/RumahSakit Hasan Sadikin, Bandung,e-mail: [email protected].

A novel postauricular revolving door island flap and cartilage graft combination was employed to correct a large defect on the anterior ear of an 84-year-old man who underwent Mohs micrographic surgery for an antihelical squamous cell carcinoma. The defect measured 4.6 × 2.4 cm and spanned the antihelix, scapha, a small portion of the helix, and a large segment of underlying cartilage, with loss of structural integrity and anterior folding of the ear. The repair involved harvesting 1.5 cm2of exposed cartilage from the scaphoid fossa and then sculpting and suturing it to the remnant of the antihelical cartilage in order to recreate the antihelical crura. The skin of the posterior auricle was then incised just below the helical rim and folded anteriorly to cover the cartilage graft. The flap remained attached by a central subcutaneous pedicle, and an island designed using the full-thickness defect as a stencil template was pulled through the cartilage window anteriorly to resurface the anterior ear. This case demonstrates the use of the revolving door flap for coverage of large central ear defects with loss of cartilaginous support and illustrates how cartilage grafts may be used in combination with the flap to improve ear contour after resection.
