  • Title: The use of otherwise redundant skin to provide nasal lining in the reconstruction of full-thickness alar defects by nasolabial flap repair.
    Author: Hosaka Y, Tsukagoshi T, Sasaki E, Yokoyama S.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1999 Jan; 52(1):29-32. PubMed ID: 10343587.
    Abstract:
    The use of otherwise redundant nasolabial flap skin is described for lining in reconstruction of full-thickness alar defects. The techniques have been successfully used to reconstruct full-thickness alar defects in four patients. The overall procedure has the advantage of providing well-vascularised tissue of appropriate colour, texture and thickness for external skin and nasal lining in one-stage reconstruction.
