The superficial radial artery-a cautionary tale of two pedicles.

Immediate prosthetic nasal rehabilitation following rhinectomy: indications and limitations of the epiplating system - a case series.

Nasal reconstruction post-rhinectomy is challenging. Nasal prostheses using the Medicon epiplating system (Medicon) provides a simpler alternative with good patient outcomes. Eight patients (mean age 65 years; equal gender distribution) underwent immediate nasal rehabilitation using a unilateral nasal Epiplate implant for magnet-retained prostheses post-rhinectomy, with follow-up from five to 37 months (mean 13 months).
