Background: Titanium mesh has been employed in neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery as a bone replacement in diverse conditions. We first reported on its use as a substitute for osteocartilaginous nasal structure with satisfactory functional and aesthetic results in 2009.
Objectives: To assess the utility and tolerance of titanium mesh as a substitute of the osteocartilaginous portion of the nose.
Background: The nasal pyramid is frequently affected by nonmelanoma skin cancer. In full thickness defects of the nose, reconstruction of all the layers results in better outcomes.
Methods: We present a case in which the combination of two flaps adequately reconstructs a full thickness defect of the nasal ala.
