Abstract: Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes of Spreader Graft in Rhinoplasty

INTRODUCTION: The concept of freestyle propeller flaps provides a versatile opportunity for wound closure at any part of the body with minimal donor site morbidity. As experience and familiarity with microsurgical procedures has increased interest in identifying-harvesting perforator flaps originating from known major vessels has become more common. The “freestyle” concept developed by Wei and Mardini expanded reconstructive options and concept using propeller flap. Technique is based on dissecting flaps in retrograde fashion toward the perforator in the vicinity of the defect.
