Reading Man Flap: A Nasal Reconstruction Technique
Conclusions
Using the advantage of extra tissue relaxation provided by an unequal Z-plasty, the reading man procedure seems to be a useful alternative for the closure of nasal defects with alike local skin. As a critical achievement, this procedure does not require excision of additional healthy tissue. Borrowing tissue from multiple directions, it avoids dog ear formation and distortion of the mobile anatomic structures.
