Objective: To describe new applications for the dorsal nasal flap technique of facial reconstruction.
Methods: Retrospective review of surgical records of patients in whom the dorsal nasal flap technique was used.
Results: The dorsal nasal flap technique was used in 61 patients to repair defects ranging in size from 12 x 17 mm to 35 x 40 mm.
Conclusion: The dorsal nasal flap technique is more versatile than has been traditionally appreciated and can allow single-stage reconstruction of many sizes of defects affecting various areas of the nose.

Expanded Uses of the Dorsal Nasal Flap: Redefining the Nasal Reconstruction Algorithm.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
January 2025
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA.
Background: Defects of the nose present complex reconstructive challenges to the plastic surgeon. We present our experience with using the dorsal nasal flap (DNF) to provide a durable reconstruction even in sizable defects that would otherwise be considered necessitating a paramedian forehead flap.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent reconstruction by DNF following resection of skin cancers on the nose.

Background: Closed preservation rhinoplasty continues to grow in popularity. Nevertheless, many surgeons remain wary of doing closed preservation rhinoplasty in certain patient populations. Mestizo noses have a thick soft-tissue envelope and weak nasal tip support.

Background: Awake prone positioning (APP) can reportedly reduce the need for intubation and help improve prognosis of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) infected with COVID-19. However, its physiological mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effect of APP on lung ventilation in patients with moderate-to-severe AHRF to better understand the effects on ventilation distribution and to prevent intubation in non-intubated patients.

Background: Nasal septal defects cause considerable morbidity and represent a challenging reconstructive problem. Traditional repair techniques have employed local intranasal tissues and allograft adjuncts. For large septal defects (>4-5 cm2), less than half are successfully resolved.

Although embryological studies of squamates have a long history, most groups in this large clade remain poorly studied. One such group is the family Scincidae, which consists of morphologically and ecologically diverse lizards. In this study, we describe several stages of embryonic development based on cleared and stained specimens of and .
