Reconstruction of Alar-Perialar Defects with a Combined Subcutaneous and Cutaneous Pedicled Rotation-Advancement Nasolabial Flap

Perialar crescentic advancement flap for upper cutaneous lip defects.

Combination of Nasolabial V-Y Advancement Flap and Glabellar Subcutaneous Pedicled Flap for Reconstruction of Medial Canthal Defect

A 77-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of a right medial canthal tumor, which was histopathologically diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. After removal of the tumor with a 4-mm safety margin, the defect occupied the areas superior and inferior to the medial canthal tendon. We first reconstructed the lower part of the defect using a nasolabial V-Y advancement flap to make an ellipt...

Subcutaneous pedicled V-Y advancement flap for surgical reconstruction of the auricle of the ear.

The subcutaneous pedicled V-Y advancement flap is useful for the repair of small and medium-sized defects in areas where it is easy to obtain a good subcutaneous pedicle (upper lip, cheek, eyebrow, and nasal tip and ala). The almost complete absence of subcutaneous tissue on the anterior aspect of the auricle of the ear can limit the use of this approach in this region. We present 4 patients in...

Modified shark island flap for combined nasal ala-perialar defects.

612 EJD, vol. 21, n◦ 4, July-August 2011 are sporadic, although autosomal dominant inheritance and germline mosaicisms have been described. The molecular basis of the disorder is a mutation of exon IIIa in the gene coding for fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR-2), located on chromosome 10q26. Two FGFR2 gene missense mutations involving the substitution of one of two adjacent residues, Se...

Abstract: Outcome Study after Nasal Alar Subunit Reconstruction: Comparing Paramedian Forehead Flap to Nasolabial Flap

INTRODUCTION: Many studies have proved the role, efficacy and safety profile of intralesional bleomycin in the management of hypertrophic scars and keloids.1 Liposomes, by virtue of their lipid bilayer, have potential to enhance the delivery of drug to the desired area. Drugs encapsulated in liposomes are expected to be transported without rapid degradation and minimum side effects to the recip...
