Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility of nasolabial sulcus flap transfer with autologous free skin graft to repair the alar defects after malignant tumor resection.Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,9 patients with malignant tumor were treated in the hospital.After complete tumor removal,the defect area being reconstructed was 1.5 cm × 1.3 cm to 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm.The defects of 9 patients were all restored with nasolabial sulcus flap combined with autologous free skin graft.Results The 9 patients were followed up for 6-18 months postoperatively.The nasolabial sulcus flap and autologous free skin graft were survived completely in all cases.Symmetrical alae were noted with slight edema within nasal cavity but without difficult ventilation.Scar was repaired in phase-two surgery.Conclusions Nasolabial sulcus flap combined with autologous free skin graft is an optional way in alar defects restoration.Further with secondary morphologic plasty,satisfactory surgical outcome can be achieved.
