Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2024 May;32(2):189-198. doi: 10.1016/j.fsc.2023.12.001. Epub 2024 Jan 9.ABSTRACTOwing to the complex, multilayered anatomy of the nose in the central face, major nasal reconstruction can pose a significant challenge for reconstructive surgeons. It is the responsibility of reconstructive surgeons to have an understanding of the most common cutaneous malignancies and excisional techniques that may lead to complex nasal defects. The purpose of this article is to discuss these malignancies, excisional techniques, and impacts of radiation on tissue that has implications for reconstructive surgeons.PMID:38575277 | DOI:10.1016/j.fsc.2023.12.001
