Deformities of the nostrils and alar region are among the very common clinically defects, which interfere with the functional anatomy of the nose. This case paper exemplifies the management of a bilateral external nasal valve area defect in a patient following a nasal reconstruction done using a forehead flap. The nasal stents were rendered to the patient for comfortable breathing by maintainin...

A 49-year-old female, who had undergone irradiation at six years of age as a treatment for a cutaneous nasal hemangioma, developed later a devastating basal cell carcinoma requiring sub-amputation of the nose and subsequent reconstruction with a pre-expanded forehead flap. Basal cell carcinomas are now frequently reported as late sequelae of previous low-dose irradiations after 10-20 years, and...

The forehead flap is one of the oldest flaps used to reconstruct upper face and remains a useful option. defect due this often healed by secondary intention; however, rarely performed in Asians increased frequency conspicuous scars. Our patient was 38-year-old Caucasian male who underwent reconstruction for rare dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. After surgery, there positive margin; therefore, a...

aesthetic lines after osteotomies, symmetries of the middle third. It is also used for functional recovery of opening the nasal valve. The evaluation of the results of spreader graft is difficult and subjective. Measuring nasal valve angle is an objectie criteria of functional outcome, the brow tip aesthetic lines referred by Tardy and Sheen are options for aesthetic evaluation. Our common indi...

INTRODUCTION Reconstruction with flaps requiring delayed division remains common, even with increasing use of free tissue transfer. Patient quality of life and function are significantly decreased during the delay period. Delay could be minimized by developing methods to reliably determine when the flap has developed sufficient vascular supply to undergo successful division. We report the use o...

The author describes how he augments Endotine Forehead device fixation with a temporary external cortical screw. This prevents the elevated and advanced skin flap from becoming detached from the Endotine, causing a relapse of brow ptosis. This double fixation endobrow technique places initial tension on the cortical screw, allowing tension-free fixation to the Endotine. Early results have been ...

Reconstruction of smail and intennediate defects of the skuil have aiready been done with a variety of techniques. However. scalp defects due to trauma. congenitallesions. and resec· tion of neoplasms are often large and can be a technical chailenge. The free flap reconstruction provides a reliable. single stage coverage of these difficult scalp and forehead defects where other methods are unsu...

Due to the complex three-dimensional structure of the nose, the repair of the nasal defect requires reconstruction of three different layers: skin envelope, osteocartilaginous framework and nasal lining. Before nasal reconstruction can be accomplished, the nose must rest on a stable platform to avoid late nasal obstructions, and septal deviations resulting from scar contraction. We present thre...

Forehead flap is the gold standard for nasal soft tissue reconstruction. The nose a complex three-dimensional structure and along with eyes, represents major aesthetic focus of face. aim this study to review use forehead in reconstruction prospectively evaluate outcome treating defects as an easy, effective economical treatment Indian population.Material Methods: This prospective was conducted ...
