Objectives: We evaluated oncologic and functional results of paramedian forehead flap in the reconstruction of nasal cutaneous defects.
Patients And Methods: Supratrochlear artery-based paramedian forehead flap was employed in 14 patients (13 men, 1 woman; mean age 57 years; range 46 to 63 years) for the reconstruction of nasal cutaneous defects resulting from excision of squamous or basal cell carcinoma. No other treatment modalities were performed other than removal of the primary lesion. The mean follow-up was 42.4 months (range 8 to 83 months).
Results: None of the patients developed flap necrosis, local recurrences, or distant metastasis. Airway problems of varying extent were observed in 10 patients (71.4%), the severity of which became attenuated in time as the flap gained proper contraction.
Conclusion: Acceptable functional and successful oncologic results can be obtained in the reconstruction with the use of paramedian forehead flap.

Complex Nasal Reconstruction: A Methodical Approach to the Three-Stage Paramedian Forehead Flap.
Semin Plast Surg

Complex nasal reconstructions require adequate planning with an accurate estimation of the time necessary to perform each stage. Reconstructions of the entire nose, multiple subunits, or a substantial subunit typically require lining replacement and cartilage grafting. Securing the lining prior to a staged reconstruction is preferred, but options such as the Menick folded paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) allow for lining coverage at the time of the first stage.

Background: Both nasolabial and forehead flaps are utilized for the reparation of nasal soft tissue defects that result from basal cell carcinoma. Utilizing the forehead flap needs twice operation for scar correction and flap base amputation while the nasolabial flap is a more effective one-stage technique.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was performed on patients with BCC involving nasal tip and ala regions based on the results of the initial biopsy and was admitted to the surgery department of the Loghman-Hakim Hospital to resect the lesion.

Article Synopsis
- A 60-year-old Thai man suffered extensive facial and neck injuries after a black bear attack, leading to complex maxillofacial damage, including the loss of facial structures and bones.
- He underwent a series of urgent multi-stage surgeries, including eye removal, tissue coverage, and nutrition support through a feeding tube, followed by nasal reconstruction using advanced techniques.
- The treatment plan successfully restored some functions, allowing him to breathe normally and eat, illustrating the effectiveness of a comprehensive surgical approach for severe injuries.

Management of Frontal Bone Exposure Following Paramedian Forehead Flap for Nasal Reconstruction.

The paramedian forehead flap is renowned for its versatility and can cover a wide range of nasal defect sizes. Most of the literature discussing outcomes of paramedian forehead flap reconstructions focuses on morbidity at the recipient site. Frontal bone exposure resulting from the use of the paramedian forehead flap is a rare but possible complication, especially when periosteum overlying the bone is damaged during surgery or during healing by secondary intention due to desiccation.
