Total Nasal Reconstruction: Advances in Free Tissue Transfer for Internal Lining and Structural Support

Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2024 May;32(2):247-259. doi: 10.1016/j.fsc.2024.01.004. Epub 2024 Feb 8.ABSTRACTTotal nasal reconstruction is a complex challenge due to the need to establish new internal lining, internal structural support, and external skin covering that is both functional and esthetic. The medial femoral condyle corticoperiosteal free flap represents an innovative option for restoration internal structure and internal nasal lining. When used in conjunction with a paramedian forehead flap, acceptable results in both function and esthetics can be achieved.PMID:38575283 | DOI:10.1016/j.fsc.2024.01.004
