Q

Nose

A

Tip:

  • bilobed flap
  • dorsal nasal flap

Sidewall:
<1cm → primary closure.
1-1.5cm → bilobed flap,
>1.5cm → forehead flap

Dorsum:
-forehead flap, dorsal nasal flap, FTSG

Total nasal recon → 2 stage: FRF lining, ear cartilage support, forehead flap coverage.
- 1st is FRF with extra fascia extension, fascia is lining. 2nd stage rib cartilage is used as cantilever dorsal nasal graft and BL conchal alar batten grafts for alar support, then fold flap (with skin paddle over cartilage. 2nd stage remove majority of skin paddle but leave lining and add cartilage and cover with forehead flap.

Q

Ear

A

Rim:
-1cm or less → Primary closure.
-2cm or less: Antia buch
Dissect skin off cartilage in front of ear and completely posteriorly as well. Ie just move soft tissue around the cartilage framework which doesn’t move

Middle ear:
-<2cm: Postauricular island flap (flip-flop):
raise flap from retroauricular area down through muscle to fascia, then raise up and suture into defect. Leave pedicle at inferior aspect of flap intact .
->2cm: TPF + STSG

Total ear recon (microtia):
Nagata 2 stage technique.
-Harvest ribs 6-9 and make ear, then place into skin pocket. Come back for 2nd stage (ear projection stage)→ raise skin / cartilage construct, then use pedicled TPF flap to cover posterior cartilage and take new rib cartilage block to place behind ear for projection. Then STSG over TPF flap.
