Abstract

Two cases with basal cell carcinomas on the middle of the nose were treated by using subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap. There were no partial or total flap losses in either case and neither of the cases had local recurrence during the follow-up period. The subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial flap should be considered to be an alternative to the paramedian forehead flap for the reconstruction of defects on the middle of the nose. In this article two cases in whom subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap method was applied for the reconstruction of middle defects of the nose are presented in the light of the literature.

Subkütanöz pediküllü nazolabial ada flebi ile burnun orta kısım defektlerinin onarımı: İki Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Burnun orta kısmında bazal hücreli karsinomu olan iki olgu superiyor tabanlı subkütan pediküllü nazolabial ada flepleri kullanılarak tedavi edildi. Ameliyat sonrası hiçbir olguda total veya parsiyel flep kaybı olmadı ve takip süresince lokal yineleme görülmedi. Burnun orta defektlerinin yeniden yapı- landırılmasında subkütanöz pediküllü nazolabial flep, paramedian alın flebine alternatif olarak düşü- nülmelidir. Bu makalede burnun orta kısım defekt- lerinin onarımında subkütanöz pediküllü nazolabial ada flep yöntemi uygulanan iki olgu, literatür eşli- ğinde sunuldu
