[Schmid-Meyer fronto-temporal flap for nasal reconstruction].

Introduction: Many surgical techniques have already been described to repair full thickness defects of the inferior part of the nose. The Schmid-Meyer fronto-temporal flap procedure, a little known technique, is based on the old principle of autonomization of a cutaneous flap and uses a tailor-made composite cartilaginous graft placed in the temporal region. This graft is progressively detached and allows mucosal/cartilaginous/and cutaneous nasal repair.
