Product Description
Nasal reconstruction has been a preoccupation of surgeons dating
to before 600 bc. The nose is the central focal point of the face and a key identifying
facial feature, and surgery to the nose can prove to be challenging to even
the most experienced surgeon. The objective of this CME article is to outline
the most commonly used surgical options for each nasal aesthetic subunit, and
the specific complications observed for each. The best surgical options and
technical refinements are highlighted, and principles that may help restore the
nose are outlined.
Learning Objectives
After viewing this course, the participant should be able to:
- Identify common negative outcomes that arise with conventional nasal reconstruction.
- Understand the technical refinements that help avoid and reduce negative outcomes in nasal reconstruction.
- Learn about the utility of regional axial island flaps for nasal reconstruction, in particular, the lateral nasal artery flap.
