[Extended nasal reconstruction with forehead flap. Report of a series of 12 adults].

The authors report a study about 12 cases of partial, total and extensive rhinectomy treated by a median "gingko flower" forehead flap. Technical adaptations are described to resolve the difficult problem of support and lining reconstruction. The authors compare their technique with the various other methods: the classical one (Converse scalping and sea-gull Millard's flaps) or more recent surgical solutions (distal composite flaps and expansion).
