Repair of nasal soft tissue defect using temporal flap pedicled with orbiculsaris oculi muscle
Objective:To study thc methods and effects of the nasal soft tissue defects repaired by the temporal flap pedicled with orbicularis oculi muscle.Methods: From 1998
18 cases of nasal soft tissue defect were repaired using the temporal flap pedicled with orbicularis oculi muscle
including alar defect
nasal tip defect
basal cell carcinoma on the nasal area and the skin ulcer after radiations.Results: All the skin flaps survived after operation. The results were satisfactory and no marked deformity or scar formation in the donor site was found after 3-month to 1-year follow up. Conclusion: It is a proper method to repair the nasal soft tissue defects using the temporal flap pedicled with orbicularis oculi muscle blood supply.However
it should be cautious in the repair of the large nasal defects with difficult suturing on the donor sites.
