SANCHEZ WALS, Lenia; ROSALES AGUIRREURRETA, Alina e GONZALEZ TORRES, Oreste. Complex Nasal Reconstruction with Frontal and Nasolabial Flap. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2020, vol.59, n.2 Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 1561-2945.
Introduction:
Nasal reconstruction with frontal flap is frequent in elderly patients, usually for oncological cause. Other complementary techniques are often required when the defects involve several nasal subunits. Therefore, nose reconstruction in young patients is always a great challenge for the plastic surgeon, due to its social repercussions and the low self-esteem affecting these patients.
Objective:
To show the surgical techniques used in the nasal reconstruction of a complex case, at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology of Cuba.
Clinical case:
25-year-old male patient, with a medical history until he suffered an accident due to a fall off a bicycle, which provoked the amputation of the nasal tip and part of the left nasal wing, with damage to the ala cartilages.
Conclusions:
Nasal reconstruction with frontal flap and nasolabial flap folded on itself constitute an adequate surgical tool for the plastic surgeon to reconstruct oncological and traumatic defects.
