Reconstruction of a full thickness nasal alar defect following resection of a BCC with a vascularised chondrocutaneous helical rim flap: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Nasal reconstruction presents a challenge for plastic surgeons due to the prominent location and complex structure of the nose. When reconstructing full-thickness nasal defects, options to replace the inner lining, cartilaginous framework and outer skin must be considered. The aesthetic units of the nose must also be replaced in full rather than simply filling holes. This report presents a case of a 62 year old male who’s full-thickness alar defect due to resection of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was reconstructed using a free chondro-cutaneous helical rim flap based on a retrograde flow superficial temporal artery pedicle.
