Total Nasal Reconstruction With Prefabricated and Prelaminated Free Flap

Nasal reconstruction is a complex staged procedure. When optimal donor areas are unavailable, flap prefabrication and prelamination techniques can be used for total nasal reconstruction. A technique of total nasal reconstruction using neovascularization of the supraclavicular skin from a skin free flap used for internal lining, along with prelamination of the cartilage framework and surgical delays, is described in 2 patients with adverse anatomical conditions.
