Defects of the nasal ala can be difficult to repair in a one-stage procedure. We describe a laterally based nasalis myocutaneous island pedicle flap to repair small but deep defects of the superior nasal ala. Objective. To describe a single-stage flap for repair of small defects on the nasal ala that confines the repair to one cosmetic unit. Methods. We discuss the anatomy of the flap and illustrate the method of placing the flap. Results. We present several case examples and discuss potential applications of the flap. We also discuss the flap's limitations by citing an example of necrosis. Conclusions. The nasalis myocutaneous island pedicle flap for repair of nasal alar defects is a new application of a one-stage procedure that yields excellent functional and cosmetic results. Knowledge of the limitations and the anatomy of the flap is crucial for a good outcome.

[source] Back to Basics: The Subcutaneous Island Pedicle FlapDERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 12p2 2004Janie M. Leonhardt MD Background. Optimal aesthetic reconstruction of cutaneous defects following excisional surgery is largely dependent on the availability of regional donor tissue that shares a likeness of the original tissue in color, texture, sebaceous quality, and thickness. The island pedicle flap is a useful tool in facial reconstruction because it minimizes regional anatomic distortion and optimizes tissue match. Objective. The objective was to review four locations where the island pedicle flap is a well-suited closure tool. Methods. We review flap planning and specific modifications of the island pedicle flap at four sites of closure, reinforcing its role as an important tool in facial reconstruction. Results. Through careful planning and implementation, the island pedicle flap may be used on the nasal tip, the nasal ala, the upper cheek, and the upper lip for closures with much success. Conclusion. The island pedicle flap remains an important tool in the armamentarium for surgeons in the repair of facial defects. [source] The east,west advancement flap (horizontal advancement flap) to repair a defect on the nose alaJOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY & VENEREOLOGY, Issue 8 2010A Ascari-Raccagni Abstract Background, The repair of an alar nasal defect is a frequent challenge for dermatologic surgeons for reasons of the high rate of non-melanoma cancers in the area. Objective, Our aim was to describe the use of an east,west cheek-based flap (horizontal advancement flap) to repair a surgical defect on the nose ala. Methods, Benefits and limits of this surgical procedure are evaluated. Result, The resulting S-shaped scar was well-camouflaged among the natural skin lines (melolabial fold and melonasal junction). No architectural distortion of the nose resulted from the procedure. Conclusion, In selected patients with small-to-medium-size defects of the nasal ala, the horizontal advancement flap is a simple, reliable and aesthetic reconstruction option. [source] | ||||||||||
