“…Just as the socioeconomic aspects directly affect cancer treatment, it is possible that these patients' expectations regarding reconstruction will also be modified, favoring the positive evaluation of the results. 20 The time to complete the reconstruction was the only variable expressing a statistically significant association (P = 0.002, rho 0.47). Patients who completed the reconstruction in less than 6 months (29/49 [59.2%]) had better results in FACE-Q's quality of life domain than patients requiring a longer time (20/49 [40.8%]).…”

Introduction: Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is responsible for high morbidity and mortality, resulting in a high cost to the health system. The nose is the leading region affected by this type of tumor and may need reconstruction by tissue transfer. The paramedian forehead flap (PFF) is one of the main options used, and the factors that influence the result should be studied. The FACE-Q questionnaire allows the assessment of appearance, quality of life, and side effects related to the procedure, whereas the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation questionnaire enables the nose function evaluation. Methods: This study evaluates nasal reconstruction with a PFF after resection of NMSC with the FACE-Q questionnaire and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation. Spearman Rank correlation coefficient tests between the questionnaire results and patients' characteristics were performed. Results: The questionnaires were completely answered by 49 patients who underwent this reconstruction between 2011 and 2019 in a cancer center. The patients’ evaluations demonstrate high satisfaction with appearance, quality of life, side effects, and function. Completing reconstruction under 6 months was associated with a higher quality of life among patients ( P = 0.002). Reconstruction of lining or scaffold, moment of flap division, complications, and number of operations did not show an association. Conclusion: This study suggests that the PFF is a reliable option for nasal reconstruction. Identifying the total reconstruction time as an impact factor on patients’ quality of life should be considered when planning treatment.
