SANCHEZ WALS, Lenia  y  GARCIA GARCIA, Dayne. Reconstruction of total ala nasi defects using forehead flap. Medisur [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.3, pp. 389-395. ISSN 1727-897X.

Ala nasi is considered an esthetics unit whose surgical reconstruction constitutes a challenge. The increasing incidence of skin cancer, non-melanoma, has led to frequent consultation of patients with carcinomas in photo-exposed locations, as ala nasi. The classical method for ala nasi reconstruction is nasogenian flap. But when the area is affected by scars or previous interventions, it is necessary to use another type of reconstruction, as forehead flap. In this presentation two cases with total defect on ala nasi reconstructed with forehead flap are presented, folded over itself, without using cartilage. The objective of this presentation is to show the results of reconstructive surgery using forehead flap in patients with nasal total defects.

Palabras clave : reconstructive surgical procedures; nasal cartilages; surgical flaps.
