The procedure described here consists of a myocutaneous axial flap with lateral pedicle. It uses the transverse part of the nasal muscle that goes forward in rotation and the lateral and superior portions of the flap in the V-Y. The procedure is useful for repairing losses of nasal tip and the surrounding area. It is a simple method that can be used to reconstruct the brim near the tip of the nose, yielding an aesthetically and functionally efficient nose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
