[Repair of substance losses of the nose: apropos of 45 cases].
1997
: The authors report 45 cases of tissue loss in the nose, in most cases secondary to cancer ablation, and in a few (2 cases) to trauma. The reconstructive techniques were mainly the classical ones using local flaps, usually at the same time as the tumour removal. Where the reconstruction was a total one, this involved the use of a compound extended Converse flap, which has the advantage of bringing in sufficient tissue associated with the bone graft, and also avoids the risks of thinning or exposure of the graft. The indications depend on anatomical factors, and on the extent and depth of the tissue loss. The cospetic results are very satisfactory, but it is necessary to revise the flaps in order to obtain the best final results.
