ALDANA UBILLUS, Celso; CACERES, Heidi; GARCIA, Marcelo  and  GARCIA, Edgar. Paramedian forehead flap in nasal reconstruction. Rev. Cir. Parag. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.2, pp.12-16. ISSN 2307-0420.

SUMMARY Introduction: The nasal reconstruction may require the use of flaps from the forehead, especially when other simpler repair techniques can’t be performed. This study shows the usefulness of this technique. Materials and Methods: An observational study, retrospective, transversal, of consecutive case series, which includes adult patients who underwent nasal reconstruction with paramedian forehead flap over a period of two years. Results: Eight patients were treated by this technique with age range between 53 and 76 years. The nasal reconstructions were performed in two or three times with success. No postoperative complications were noted. Conclusion: The paramedian forehead flap has a place in the treatment armamentarium for nasal reconstruction.
