Reconstruction of the Nose: Management of Nasal Cutaneous Defects According to Aesthetic Subunit and Defect Size. A Review

Abstract: The nose represents the most common site for the presentation of cutaneous cancer, especially in sun-exposed areas: ala, dorsum, and tip. Even the smallest loss of substance can create aesthetic and psychosocial concerns for patients; therefore, surgeons who perform nasal reconstruction should be strictly confident with the pertinent surgical anatomy in order to tailor the procedure to the patient’s condition and needs. Radical tumor excision and satisfactory aesthetic and functional results are primary target… Show more

“…The aim of this paper is to present the authors' experience with the tailored reconstruction of the complex structures of the face, which carry both an aesthetic and functional burden, as previously discussed in studies and reviews on the topic [27][28][29][30][31]. The current study presents some limitations, including the reduced size of the cohort of patients and the exclusion of patients affected by larger defects requiring a more complex reconstruction.…”

“…An optimal nasal reconstructive surgery approach should preserve the aesthetic subunits of the nose; cause minimal scarring; provide a suitable match between the donor and the recipient in terms of the texture, color, and profile of the tissue; create minimal damage to the donor site; and carry a low risk of complications. Deciding on the correct surgical technique requires careful planning and should take all these factors into consideration [ 1 , 9 ].…”
