PEDICLED PERFORATOR FLAPS IN NASAL RECONSTRUCTION: A REVIEW

2014

The use of perforator flaps in face reconstruction is becoming increasingly common. They are particularly useful in nose reconstruction, where they can be tailored to match the complex three-dimensional structure of the nasal concave and convex subunits. In this paper, we present a review of the literature on the use of pedicled perforator flaps in nose reconstruction, discussing current indications and outcomes. Literature on this topic is still limited, with only 12 studies reporting data on 129 reconstructions. Reconstruction of nasal defects with pedicled perforator flaps is a novel and expanding field. It allows for the achievement of good aesthetic results, with a single operation and…
