Bilobed flap utility for local defects due to facial basal cell carcinoma. Case reports. Instituto de Prevision Social. Cir. parag. [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.3, pp.31-34.

Basal cell carcinoma is a common condition throughout medical centers in Paraguay. The nasal alar region is disadvantaged compared to other body regions due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. How- ever, these tumors generally have a good prognosis. The lack of nodal dissemination and distant metastasis makes them quite manageable. The bilobed flap is an excellent option for small defects in this region; it is practical and yields excellent aesthetic results.

Palabras clave : basal cell carcinoma; surgical flaps; ultraviolet radiation.
